In Django, forms are still created in HTML, but you typically use Django’s form handling system to handle data validation, saving to the database, and other tasks automatically:
- Validation: Django can automatically validate the data for you (e.g., check if a field is required or if the email format is correct).
- Security: Django handles CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) tokens automatically to prevent malicious attacks.
- Clean separation of logic: Instead of mixing business logic with HTML, Django forms help you cleanly separate things.
Redirect vs Render
It renders a template with a given context and returns an HttpResponse.
It redirects the user to a different URL.
