Django is a high-level free and open-source Python Web framework which follows the model-view-template (MVT) architectural pattern. It encourages rapid application development which is fast, secure and scalable with pragmatic design. Django is developed with a goal to build complex, database-driven websites with ease. It provides hassle free web app development experience and other core functionalities.
