Django: Step by step guide on building Django websites

Introduction

 A high-level Python web framework called Django enables the quick creation of safe and dependable websites. Django, which was created by seasoned programmers, handles a lot of the hassle associated with web development, allowing you to concentrate on developing your app without having to invent the wheel. It is open source and free, has a strong community, excellent documentation, and a variety of free and paid support options.

Comparison between Flask and Django

Database

    Flask doesn't have a database layer, an ORM, supports NoSQL, and uses SQLAlchemy to handle database operations.

    To perform common database activities without writing time-consuming SQL queries, Django offers an ORM system.

Security

    CSRF, XSS, and SQL injection are just a few of the typical threats that Flask provides built-in protection against.

    In comparison to other web frameworks, Django is safer. There is less chance of being attacked by an unauthorized individual because it has a lot smaller codebase. It must be evaluated and kept under close observation in order to increase security.

Flexibility

    Django has a "batteries included" philosophy that enables programmers to create a range of web applications without the need of external tools and libraries. However, developers are unable to alter the Django-provided modules. Using these readily available libraries, we must create a web application.

    However, Flask is a lightweight and versatile web framework. By utilizing web development tools and libraries, it offers flexibility for users to construct the web app as needed. Due to its straightforward and adaptable architecture, Flask is a preferred framework for novices.
