What is Django?

A high-level web framework that follows the batteries-included philosophy, providing ORM, admin, auth, and more out of the box.

Django provides everything needed for web development: ORM (database abstraction), admin panel (auto-generated), authentication system, URL routing, template engine, form handling, and security protections (CSRF, XSS, SQL injection).

Django follows the MTV (Model-Template-View) pattern. Its "don't repeat yourself" philosophy and convention-over-configuration approach enable rapid development. Used by Instagram, Pinterest, and Mozilla.
