It is designed to promote rapid development and clean, pragmatic design and lets you build high-performing, elegant web applications rapidly. Django focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY (Don`t Repeat Yourself) principle, making it easier to build high-performance web applications faster, with less code.
