Django is a high-level Python web framework that enables rapid development of secure and maintainable websites. Built by experienced developers, Django takes care of much of the hassle of web development, so the developers can focus on writing the app without needing to reinvent the wheel. It is free and open source, has a thriving and active community, great documentation, and many options for free and paid-for support.
Django follows the “Batteries included” philosophy and provides almost everything developers might want to do “out of the box”. Because everything one needs is part of the one “product”, it all works seamlessly together, follows consistent design principles, and has extensive and up-to-date documentation. Django can be (and has been) used to build almost any type of website — from content management systems and wikis, through to social networks and news sites. It can work with any client-side framework, and can deliver content in almost any format (including HTML, RSS feeds, JSON, XML, etc).
