Django: The Introduction and Advantages You Need to Know
Django is a Python-based and free open-source web framework. It is intended to assist developers in bringing applications from concept to completion as rapidly as feasible. Django’s architectural pattern is model-template-view (MTV).
Some key features of Django include:
- A robust object-relational mapper (ORM) that allows you to interact with databases using Python objects.
- A powerful template engine that lets you define the structure of your HTML templates.
- A flexible URL routing system that lets you define the URLs for your application.
- A built-in authentication system that handles user accounts and permissions.
- Support for middleware, which allows you to define custom behaviour for your application at various stages of the request/response cycle.
Python Test-Driven Development focuses on web development with Django and JavaScript. The building of a website using the Django web framework is used as a real-world example of how to undertake test-driven development in this book (TDD). NoSQL, WebSockets, and asynchronous responses are also covered. The book is available for free online or in hard copy from O’Reilly.
Advantages:
- Object-Relational Mapping Support (ORM) Django serves as a link between the data model and the database engine, and it supports a variety of database systems, including MySQL, Oracle, and Postgres. Through the Django-nonrel branch, Django also supports NoSQL databases. For the time being, the only NoSQL databases that are supported are MongoDB and Google App Engine.
- Django’s built-in internationalisation system allows it to support multilingual websites. As a result, you can create a website that supports several languages.
- Django includes framework support for Ajax, RSS, caching, and a variety of other frameworks.
- Administration GUI Django comes with a good ready-to-use user interface for administrative tasks.
- Django includes a lightweight web server that facilitates end-to-end application creation and testing.
