Django is a high-level web framework for Python that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It follows the "batteries-included" philosophy, providing developers with a comprehensive set of tools and features to build web applications efficiently.

Django emphasizes reusability and the "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) principle, allowing developers to create modular applications by leveraging its robust component architecture. With built-in features like an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping), authentication system, and an administrative interface, Django simplifies common web development tasks such as database management, user authentication, and URL routing.

Its strong community support and extensive documentation make it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced developers looking to create scalable, secure, and maintainable web applications quickly.
