Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Django\_Review" November 4, 2023 5.0 Pros Django is a very useful Python web framework that excels in productivity, providing built-in features like automatic admin interface, authentication, and form handling. It is very good and a secure and efficient choice for web development. Cons Django's learning curve is a Calvary for beginners due to its complex structure and advanced concepts. Despite its performance, it may not be the best choice for applications requiring extreme performance, such as real-time apps. If the developers can work in this line, it will be perfect.

Not only in terms of functionality, the modulatity through the plugin system, the native file and user management system (the list could go on endlessly at this point), but also the continuous development and the scope for customization impress in its entirety. For this reason, it can be confidently stated: "Django is the Swiss Pocket Knife among Python frameworks for web applications". Pros Django is one of the few, if not the only Python framework that is suitable for web applications.Django convinces through the integrated data and user management system, which is natively integrated.Equally impressive is the model-view-controller principle, which makes it possible to separate the frontend, the logic and the data management of a web application cleanly.Likewise, the plug-in system for the integration of applications and their functions enables extremely light and versatile design options. Cons Actually, there are no real problems with Django. The only problems from Django itself come from the rapid evolution of the surrounding environment. For example, Django is traditionally designed for relational- but not for NoSQL-based databases. Embedding graph-based data, e.g. in the context of social networks to link users or directly analyze data structures using Neo4j, remains quite tricky at the moment, although it is possible and the logical next step for Django to implement.

Engineering Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid multi-page application framework" March 16, 2025 5.0 Positive for our multi-page SaaS, but we have moved on to more modern stacks/frameworks for our SPAs. Pros We use it for our multi-page SaaS application. Works well for this with a great ORM and acceptable templating language. Can also use the DRF (Django Rest Framework) if you wish to use it for a REST API backend. Cons As we have moved to a React single-page application, we decided against Django for the REST API are there are more modern options available. If you were to stay with Python you could also consider Flask. Review Source JL Jacek L.

It's very enjoyable to use, and enables to quickly produce a lot of value. Pros Great balance of flexibility and structure. Enables to quickly create complex solutions. Excellent documentation. A lot of available material online. Easy to use ORM. Many great plugins. Cons Sometimes the documentation is lagging behind. Some features are hidden in 3rd party libraries (especially regarding the forms - e.g. Widget Tweaks) and APIs (rest-toolkit) - they could be integrated in the core, or adopted by the Python Software Foundation. Reason for choosing Django To be honest the preference of Django over other products (like PHP, nodejs etc.) is usually connected to the choice of language, and boils down to Python vs Javascript vs PHP etc. In this scenario, it's easier to find good Python developers (compared to Javascript and PHP).

Pros Django uses abstracts database interactions, simplifying data modeling. Cons Django's extensive features can appear to be overwhelming if you are new to Django.

Jr. Full Stack Developer E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### " A Powerful Framework for Building Web Apps" September 24, 2023 4.0 Pros Django is a powerful framework that makes use of the Python programming language for building fast and scalable web applications. Just out of the box, Django provides decent security protection, SQLite3 database, an admin panel, a User model, groups and permissions, and many other features. It makes use of the Jinja templating engine for building dynamic web apps and has its own ORM which is very intuitive and easy to understand. It can also be used for building REST APIs and GraphQL APIs with tools such as Rest Framework or Graphene, which is a popular practice for building web apps nowadays. The use of Python language also makes the code more readable and easy to understand. Cons By default, since Django comes with a lot of features, multiple files, and a large settings file, it can feel overwhelming to initially get into. It might also not be the best tool if you are building a basic application, for which alternatives like Flask and FastAPI may be better choices.

Pros The versatility of it for making web based applications, ML projects, train ML model. Cons As there are libraries and Danjo's own SQLite based backend, which is great for beginners but does in a makes new learner take for granted.

Your queries will get solved easily. creates web apps faster with ORM support. Pros Inbuild admin panel, robust security features, lots of third-party libraries for frontend customization. Cons Very less websites with free deployment. Review Source FM Franck M.

Les fonctionnalités intégrées offertes par Django permettent une approche orientée objet, un balisage HTML facile intégrant des templates avec la logique de programmation, ainsi que des outils de sécurité renforcé et des capacités de base de données. Django peut aider les entreprises à répondre à différents besoins, notamment la gestion de contenu, l'analyse de données et la résolution de problèmes de performances liés aux applications web.Cependant, il faudra peut-être un certain temps pour apprendre et maîtriser l'utilisation de ce framework. Pros Django est facile à utiliser et propose une syntaxe propre et concise qui facilite l'écriture du code.Les fonctions de modélisation de données et d'administration sont très utiles et permettent une configuration rapide et facile de l'application. Les outils de gestion de base de données, comme la migration de schémas et la création de requêtes, sont également très pratiques pour le développement web. Cons Certaines fonctionnalités de Django peuvent être difficiles à apprendre pour les débutants, ce qui peut entraîner une courbe d'apprentissage raide.L'intégration avec les processus actuels peut être difficile car Django dispose de sa propre structure et de ses propres méthodologies.L'absence de certaines fonctionnalités spécifiques peut être frustrante pour certains utilisateurs, mais cela peut être compensé par des packages tiers et des modules complémentaires.

Yes, you need to know how to code in Python. Yes, you need to know a good deal about HTML, database queries and how server/client relationships exist on the Web. That said, the Django framework makes writing server-side applications quick and easy. Pros Django's object mapping makes creating Web apps that run on the server side insanely quick. The Django DB model class can be difficult to pick up at first, but it makes defining tables, queries, filtering and pretty much any database call efficient. It's caching model coupled with its security (XSS and SQL injection specifically) make it invaluable once you learn the basics. Cons It's a framework that builds off multiple technologies - databases, HTML and Python. If you don't understand how any of these technologies work and how they work together, it will be tough to pickup.

Django used as backend part of the web application where as react is using for user authentication and validation. Pros Django follows MVT model (model,view,template) its completely based out of python language so its easy to learn. And dango gives builtin files for making web application so its easier for a developer to build the connection between the files and built a web application on django. Cons If not needed user also have to deal with the lots of files in django although you just making a static web page using django you have to deal with all those unwanted builtin files that django gives.

Almost everything you can think of, has already been integrated which makes writing code a simple task. Cons Django is really not well suited if your project is small, you'd be better using another framework. As well as its complicated learning curve. Review Source MSN Mohammad Shakeer N.

Pros Django is versatile, open-source, and bolstered by extensive documentation and a supportive community.

Warmly suggested! Pros Django deployment is straightforward, the apps based on it run fast and its features allow to build complex logic, also interacting with frontends such as Angular Cons The debugging/logging features could use some improvement Review Source EG Emilija G.
