Here I'm gonna talk about the Advantages of Django.

 

> Object-Relational Mapping Support:

Django provides a bridge between the data model and the database engine and support a large set of database system including MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, etc.

> Supports no-SQL databases: 

Django also supports NoSQL databases through Django-Nonrel fork. For now the only NoSQL databases supported are MongoDB and Google App engine.

> Multilingual Support: 

Django supports multilingual websites through its built in internationalization system. Thus we can develop a website that can support multiple languages.

> Framework support: 

Django has built in support for Ajax, RSS, caching. and various others frameworks.

> Administration GUI: 

Django Provides a nice ready to use user interface for administrative activities.

> Development environment: 

Django comes with a light weight web server to facilitate end to end application development and testing.

> Loosely Coupled: 

Django aims to make each element of its stack independent to others.

> Less Coding: 

Django requires less coding so it can be developed easily. A happy news for me.

> Don't Repeat yourself (DRY): 

Everything is developed at one place instead of writing it again and again.

> Scalable: 

Django uses a component based "shared nothing" architecture ( each part of the architecture is independent of others and can, Hence, be replaced or changed when needed.)

> Secured: 

Django enables protection against much vulnerability by default, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting, cross-site request, forgery, etc.
