Its main goals are simplicity, flexibility, reliability, and scalability. And when introduced to what is Django, Python and its features open up in a new way.<\/p>\n<p>Django has its own naming system for all functions and components (e.g., HTTP responses are called &#8220;views&#8221;). It also has an admin panel, which is deemed easier to work with than in Lavarel or Yii, and other technical Django features, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Simple syntax;<\/li>\n<li>Its own web server;<\/li>\n<li>MVC (Model-View-Controller) core architecture;<\/li>\n<li>\u201cBatteries included\u201d (comes with all the essentials needed to solve solving common cases);<\/li>\n<li>An ORM (Object Relational Mapper);<\/li>\n<li>HTTP libraries;<\/li>\n<li>Middleware support; and<\/li>\n<li>A Python unit test framework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4484\" src=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Administration.png\" alt=\"django framework admin panel\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Administration.png 1440w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Administration-300x262.png 300w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Administration-1024x893.png 1024w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Administration-768x670.png 768w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Administration-172x150.png 172w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><br \/>\nAdditionally, Django provides a dynamic CRUD (create, read, update and delete) interface, configured with admin models and generated via introspection. CRUD is used to describe the basic database commands, which means the interface facilitates viewing, changing, and searching for information.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"header1\">Why We Use the Django Framework<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, the development toolkit is not limited to a combination of Python-Django: frameworks like Flask, Pyramid, FastAPI, or Tornado can provide a Python developer with different possibilities. In each particular case, this will mean different answers to why Django is better than Flask, or vice versa. But Django is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/lp.jetbrains.com\/python-developers-survey-2021\/#FrameworksLibraries\">top-3 Python web frameworks<\/a> due to its strengths.<\/p>\n<h3>It\u2019s fast and simple<\/h3>\n<p>One of Django\u2019s main goals is to simplify work for programmers. To do that, the Django framework uses:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The principles of rapid development, which means coders can do more than one iteration at a time without starting the whole schedule from scratch;<\/li>\n<li>DRY philosophy \u2014 Don\u2019t Repeat Yourself \u2014 which means programmers can reuse existing code and focus on the unique one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a result, configuring Django settings is faster, and it takes a lot less time to get the project to market.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4485\" src=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Rapid-Development.png\" alt=\"why we use django framework\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Rapid-Development.png 1440w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Rapid-Development-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Rapid-Development-1024x720.png 1024w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Rapid-Development-768x540.png 768w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Rapid-Development-213x150.png 213w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>It\u2019s secure<\/h3>\n<p>Security is also a high priority for Django. It has one of the best out-of-the-box security systems out there, and it helps software engineers avoid common security issues, including<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>clickjacking,<\/li>\n<li>cross-site scripting, and<\/li>\n<li>SQL injection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Django promptly releases new security patches. It\u2019s usually the first one to respond to vulnerabilities and alert other frameworks. For teams standardizing on managed identity, patterns like <a href=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/bootstrap-django-app-with-cognito\/\">Django cognito<\/a> pair Django with AWS Cognito to offload credential storage while keeping fine-grained permissions in the app.<\/p>\n<h3>It suits any web application project<\/h3>\n<p>With Django, you can tackle projects of any size and capacity, whether it\u2019s a simple website or a high-load web application. Why use Django for your project? Because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s fully loaded with extras and scalable, so you can make applications that handle heavy traffic and large volumes of information;<\/li>\n<li>It is cross-platform, meaning that your project can be based on Mac, Linux or PC;<\/li>\n<li>It works with most major databases and allows using a database that is more suitable in a particular project, or even multiple databases at the same time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>It\u2019s well-established<\/h3>\n<p>Django is very good for web development. It is time- and crowd-tested. It has a big, supportive community accessed through numerous forums, channels, and dedicated websites. It\u2019s easy to find help when there\u2019s a problematic function in the code and to find specialists if your company is looking to base the next project on Django.<\/p>\n<p>Django started off with great documentation, the best of any other open-source framework. And it\u2019s still maintained on a high level, updated along with the new functions and fixes, so you can easily adapt to changes.<\/p>\n<p>It will not be difficult for a developer to figure out how to use Django in a particular case. You can trust that any issues with the framework will be solved as soon as they arise. The software is constantly updated and new packages are released to make working with Django more convenient than it already is.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4486\" src=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Framework-Well-Established.png\" alt=\"Most popular Django features\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Framework-Well-Established.png 1440w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Framework-Well-Established-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Framework-Well-Established-1024x720.png 1024w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Framework-Well-Established-768x540.png 768w, https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Framework-Well-Established-213x150.png 213w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><br \/>\nWell, these are some kind of reasons Django is used for, let\u2019s consider what you can do using Django. By the way, you may be interested in our article on the cost of developing web applications.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"header2\">What You Can Do with Django<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s an interesting fact: Django was first created to power a web application for a newspaper publisher, the Lawrence Journal-World. You can expect it to be amazing at handling projects with volumes of text content, media files, and heavy traffic \u2014 or anything else that works like a web-based periodical.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4487\" src=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Django-Web-Framework.png\" alt=\"Django web framework\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1256\" \/><br \/>\nBut the publishing industry is not the framework\u2019s only area of application. Django is also used to build eCommerce websites and health care and financial applications for transportation and booking, social media sites, and more. Here are some of the many project types you can develop using the framework:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Financial platforms with features for analyzing and calculating approximate results based on personal data, risk tolerance, the probability of achieving goals;<\/li>\n<li>Built-in custom CRM systems for internal data;<\/li>\n<li>B2B CRM systems for handling communication between businesses;<\/li>\n<li>Platforms that facilitate communication between two parties, such as a business and a consumer;<\/li>\n<li>High-load booking engines or shopping platforms;<\/li>\n<li>Android and iOS mobile apps that support web applications;<\/li>\n<li>Real estate property evaluation systems;<\/li>\n<li>Document management systems;<\/li>\n<li>Platforms for handling legal issues like verifying mortgage conditions or lease status.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some companies choose to base their projects on more than one web framework. Django can also be used to create separate features, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An emailing system for sending notifications to users;<\/li>\n<li>A filtering system with advanced logic and dynamically changing rules;<\/li>\n<li>Algorithm-based generators;<\/li>\n<li>Data-analysis tools;<\/li>\n<li>Interfaces for managing investment funds;<\/li>\n<li>Admin dashboards;<\/li>\n<li>Photo-based verification systems;<\/li>\n<li>And other features that facilitate the development of CRM and B2B platforms, online marketplaces, booking systems, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><div class=\"info_box_shortcode_holder\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Django-Development.png)\">\n    <div class=\"info_box_label\">\n    Services\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"info_box_logo\">\n    \n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"info_box_title font_size_\">\n   <span class=\"info_box_title_inner\">Django: The Best Quality-Value Ratio.<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"info_box_link\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/services\/python-django-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" >\n            <span>Bespoke software development services<\/span>\n            <div class=\"button_animated\">\n                <svg width=\"24\" height=\"12\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 12\" fill=\"none\"\n                     xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path d=\"M23.725 5.33638C23.7248 5.3361 23.7245 5.33577 23.7242 5.33549L18.8256 0.460497C18.4586 0.0952939 17.865 0.096653 17.4997 0.463684C17.1345 0.830668 17.1359 1.42425 17.5028 1.7895L20.7918 5.06249H0.9375C0.419719 5.06249 0 5.48221 0 5.99999C0 6.51777 0.419719 6.93749 0.9375 6.93749H20.7917L17.5029 10.2105C17.1359 10.5757 17.1345 11.1693 17.4998 11.5363C17.865 11.9034 18.4587 11.9046 18.8256 11.5395L23.7242 6.66449C23.7245 6.66421 23.7248 6.66388 23.7251 6.6636C24.0923 6.29713 24.0911 5.70163 23.725 5.33638Z\"\n                          fill=\"#282828\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n                <div class=\"shape\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><!--[cta-banner title=\"<u>Python &amp; Django<\/u> development\" image=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2_1_bg.png\" button=\"Learn more\" link=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/services\/python-django-development\/\" small_text=\"Your chance to enter the market faster\"]--><br \/>\nWell, you have finally learned how to use Django and in which areas its use is most appropriate.
