Why Django-Single Framework for Backend and Front-end

If you are not updated daily, then you must be missing a lot as a software developer. Technology is an industry that requires keen observation and anylysis of what will happen tomorrow. The field is growing faster than any other industry.

I love web development. I have built websites with vanilla JavaScript before deciding which framework was the best. But one experienced developer told me never to compare them because each has its advantages and disadvantages. According to my analysis, I wanted something that will help me develop websites much faster.

Framework for backend and Front-end
I landed on react but when it comes to the backend, you need to learn PHP or node.js again. That means you must be commited to another framework or language for the backend. Can Django perform all those tasks? Yes.

Large Community
The python framework is still growing with the addition of features daily. It has a wide community that contributes to open-source projects. It's simple, with inbuilt features that accelerate the rate of development.

A few lines of Code
Furthermore, it makes use of redundant code. You just have to write a single base.html class that contains the footer and header. So when building other templates, you just call the block with two lines of code. This will decrease the loading time. Always develop sites that use less memory and load faster(Algorithm).

Simple pagination
What about pagination, it's very simple. With four lines of code, you can hide other products. Pagination is good, it acts like lazy loading. It helps to increase the loading speed. Feel free to read my blog about pagination.(https://dev.to/maniamartial/django-pagination-simple-that-any-framework-2i6d)

Built-in Form
When it comes to the backend, the process becomes much simpler. The authentication of users and admin has been taken care of. If it's a registration or login, there is an existing drafted form. The developer might decide to use it to design another one. Resetting and editing staff from the backend is also available.

Complete Admin section
Fascinating thing about Django, it has a well-designed Admin backend. The developer has to create-super-user and login in. Inside the admin panel, there are a lot of things you can do. There are many defaults like deleting another user, giving a mandate, and adding people.

All in all, I feel it’s the best framework while working on a single project as a solo developer. But if you are working with a team, you might decide to specialize on the backend or front-end. The best answer to which framework to use depends on the user, try out to get your best meal. According to the statistics, react.js is said to be more popular among 67% of frontend developers.
