These are usually Python functions or classes returning an HTTP response.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After receiving data from the model file, it sends responses to the template file for rendering. Views are linked to the application&#8217;s URLs, enabling access to the various functionalities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>Models.py file<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> defines the structure and management of the application&#8217;s database.

These principles make Django easy to use.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s more, this framework helps developers avoid the most common security problems, such as<\/span><b> embedding session<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> information in cookies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Django can be used to build applications of any size, and scaling is very easy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Debugging, extension, and maintenance processes are <\/span><b>simple and systematic<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> since all applications follow the same design principles.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this tool also has a few weak points. It&#8217;s not ideal for the <\/span><b>development of basic applications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and simple web interfaces, such as a<\/span><b> landing page<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that doesn&#8217;t require interaction with a database or file directory.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other options may be more suitable, as this is a complex, high-level framework with many features. A smaller framework<\/span><b> such as Flask<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is preferable.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, Django is not the best choice for an application that is already large and cannot exist within a single code base.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The framework itself is rather large and can lead to a slowdown in the final application. Even if it enables rapid scaling of an application, the process itself <\/span><b>may result in a slower application<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, it&#8217;s best to avoid Django if you want to build every part of your project from the ground up and learn the basics of web development.
