🆚 Django vs. Flask

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design while following the Model-View-Template (MVT) architectural pattern and the "don't repeat yourself" (DRY) principle.

It includes a built-in ORM, automatic admin interface, form handling, templating engine, URL routing, middleware support, and many security protections out of the box.

Flask is a lightweight framework for building web applications in Python.

It provides a minimal core that includes URL routing, request/response handling, a built-in development server and debugger, Jinja2 as templating engine, support for RESTful APIs, and the ability to extend functionality via numerous third-party libraries.
