Django

What Django is

Django is a free, open-source backend framework for building applications with Python. It uses hybrid rendering and includes an object-relational mapper, so database access is part of the framework rather than a separate listed component. Built-in authentication provides user-authentication capability within the same backend toolkit. Django is designed for self-hosted deployment, meaning users deploy it in environments they manage. Its primary language is Python, making it relevant to projects already using that ecosystem. The framework has a free plan and an open-source license model. Django therefore combines backend application structure, hybrid rendering, data access through its included ORM, and authentication in one package. Teams considering it should account for the self-hosted deployment target and choose it where Python is an appropriate primary language. These listed characteristics describe a framework for developers who want core backend capabilities together under an open-source, no-cost model.
