Django (/?d???ɡo?/ JANG-goh; sometimes stylized as django) is a free and open-source, Python-based web framework that runs on a web server. It follows the model–template–views (MTV) architectural pattern. It is maintained by the Django Software Foundation (DSF), an independent organization established in the US as a 501(c)(3) non-profit.

Django's primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven websites. The framework emphasizes reusability and "pluggability" of components, less code, low coupling, rapid development, and the principle of don't repeat yourself. Python is used throughout, even for settings, files, and data models. Django also provides an optional administrative create, read, update and delete interface that is generated dynamically through introspection and configured via admin models.

Some well-known sites that use Django include Instagram, Mozilla, Disqus, Bitbucket, Nextdoor, and Clubhouse.

History

Django was created in the autumn of 2003, when the web programmers at the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper, Adrian Holovaty and Simon Willison, began using Python to build applications. Jacob Kaplan-Moss was hired early in Django's development shortly before Willison's internship ended. It was released publicly under a BSD license in July 2005. The framework was named after guitarist Django Reinhardt. Holovaty is a romani jazz guitar player inspired in part by Reinhardt's music.

In June 2008, it was announced that a newly formed Django Software Foundation (DSF) would maintain Django in the future.

Features

Components

Despite having its own nomenclature, such as naming the callable objects generating the HTTP responses "views", the core Django framework can be seen as an MVC architecture. It consists of an object-relational mapper (ORM) that mediates between data models (defined as Python classes) and a relational database ("Model"), a system for processing HTTP requests with a web templating system ("View"), and a regular-expression-based URL dispatcher ("Controller").

Also included in the core framework are:

• a lightweight and standalone web server for development and testing
• a form serialization and validation system that can translate between HTML forms and values suitable for storage in the database
• a template system that utilizes the concept of inheritance borrowed from object-oriented programming
• a caching framework that can use any of several cache methods
• support for middleware classes that can intervene at various stages of request processing and carry out custom functions
• an internal dispatcher system that allows components of an application to communicate events to each other via pre-defined signals
• an internationalization system, including translations of Django's own components into a variety of languages
• a serialization system that can produce and read XML and/or JSON representations of Django model instances
• a system for extending the capabilities of the template engine
• an interface to Python's built-in unit test framework

Bundled applications

The main Django distribution also bundles a number of applications in its "contrib" package, including:

• an extensible authentication system
• the dynamic administrative interface
• tools for generating RSS and Atom syndication feeds
• a "Sites" framework that allows one Django installation to run multiple websites, each with their own content and applications
• tools for generating Sitemaps
• built-in mitigation for cross-site request forgery, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, password cracking and other typical web attacks, most of them turned on by default

• a framework for creating geographic information system (GIS) applications

Extensibility

Django's configuration system allows third-party code to be plugged into a regular project, provided that it follows the reusable app conventions. More than 5000 packages are available to extend the framework's original behavior, providing solutions to issues the original tool didn't tackle: registration, search, API provision and consumption, CMS, etc.

This extensibility is, however, mitigated by internal components' dependencies. While the Django philosophy implies loose coupling, the template filters and tags assume one engine implementation, and both the auth and admin bundled applications require the use of the internal ORM. None of these filters or bundled apps are mandatory to run a Django project, but reusable apps tend to depend on them, encouraging developers to keep using the official stack in order to benefit fully from the apps ecosystem.

Server arrangements

Django can be run on ASGI or WSGI-compliant web servers. Django officially supports five database backends: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, and Oracle. Microsoft SQL Server can be used with mssql-django.

Version history

The Django team will occasionally designate certain releases to be "long-term support" (LTS) releases. LTS releases will get security and data loss fixes applied for a guaranteed period of time, typically 3+ years, regardless of the pace of releases afterwards.

Europe

The 2025 edition of DjangoCon Europe took place in Dublin, Ireland from 23rd to 27th April.

In 2024, the conference was hosted in Vigo, Spain.

Edinburgh, Scotland served as the venue for DjangoCon Europe in 2023.

The 2022 conference was organized in Porto, Portugal.

In 2021, DjangoCon Europe was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2020 edition was also conducted as a fully virtual event.

DjangoCon Europe 2019 was held in Copenhagen, Denmark.

In 2018, the event took place in Heidelberg, Germany.

The 2017 conference was convened in Florence, Italy.

DjangoCon Europe 2012 was organized in Zurich, Switzerland.

Australia

Django mini-conferences are usually held every year as part of the Australian Python Conference 'PyCon AU'. Previously, these mini-conferences have been held in:

• Hobart, Australia, in July 2013,
• Brisbane, Australia, in August 2014 and 2015,
• Melbourne, Australia in August 2016 and 2017, and
• Sydney, Australia, in August 2018 and 2019.

Africa

The first DjangoCon Africa was held in Zanzibar, Tanzania, from 6 to 11 November 2023. The event hosted approximately 200 attendees from 22 countries, including 103 women. The conference featured 26 talks on topics such as software development, education, careers, accessibility, and agriculture, often highlighting perspectives from across the African continent. Future editions of the conference are planned, with details available on the official website

Community groups & programs

Django has spawned user groups and meetups around the world, a notable group is the Django Girls organization, which began in Poland but now has had events in 91 countries.

Another initiative is Djangonaut Space, a mentorship program aimed at supporting new contributors to the Django ecosystem. The program pairs experienced mentors with developers to guide them through making meaningful contributions to Django and its community. It emphasizes long-term engagement, inclusion, and collaborative open-source development.

Ports to other languages

Programmers have ported Django's template engine design from Python to other languages, providing decent cross-platform support. Some of these options are more direct ports; others, though inspired by Django and retaining its concepts, take the liberty to deviate from Django's design:

• Liquid for Ruby
• Template::Swig for Perl
• Twig for PHP and JavaScript
• Jinja for Python
• ErlyDTL for Erlang

CMSs based on Django Framework

Django as a framework is capable of building a complete CMS. Some dedicated CMS projects are based upon Django:

• Django CMS
• Wagtail
• Mezzanine
