Django is a high-level Python web framework used for building secure, scalable, and maintainable web applications rapidly. It follows the MVT (Model-View-Template) architectural pattern and promotes clean, reusable code.

Django was developed by the Django Software Foundation and is widely used for developing data-driven websites. It comes with built-in features like authentication, admin panel, ORM (Object-Relational Mapping), and security mechanisms, making it highly efficient for backend development.
