Django template language (DTL) is Django's built-in template backend. DTL is used to create text-based templates, meaning that it may be used for any text-based format beyond HTML and XML. It stresses presentation over program logic.

Django Template Language

Django templates are used to dynamically generate HTML. Django has native support for its own template backend (Django template language or DTL) and Jinja2, but other template backends from third parties may be used, or users can customize their own.

Django follows the model-template-view (or MTV) architectural pattern. In this pattern, models interact with the database, templates render information for users, and views process requests and present responses to users.

Django Documentation

In Django, all information about your data is stored in models. A model is the single, definitive source of information about your data. It contains the essential fields and behaviors of the data you’re storing. Generally, each model maps to a single database table.

The Basics:
- Each model is a Python class that subclasses django.db.models.Model.
- Each attribute of the model represents a database field.
- With all of this, Django gives you an automatically-generated database-access API;
