Re-explain

Django is a high-level Python web framework built for rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It follows the Model-View-Template (MVT) pattern.

Its key features:

  • It comes batteries included, meaning common features ship with it. These include an admin interface, authentication and an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) that maps classes to tables.
  • It follows the DRY principle, short for Don't Repeat Yourself.
  • It protects against common attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery.
  • It scales to high-traffic sites. Its "shared-nothing" design means the parts share no state, so you can add database, cache or web servers.
  • It suits both HTML sites and JSON APIs.
  • It has a large community, ecosystem and documentation.
