ADR-001: Django
===============

Status
------
Accepted

Context
-------
The project requires a robust, well-supported web framework to accelerate development, ensure maintainability, and leverage community best practices. There are often multiple ways to implement features, either by using built-in framework capabilities or by integrating third-party solutions.

Decision
--------
The project will prioritize features that are included in the Django web framework. If Django provides a feature, we will use Django’s implementation rather than building custom solutions or integrating external packages.

Alternatives Considered
-----------------------
- Using third-party packages for features that Django already provides.
- Building custom implementations for common web application needs.

Consequences
------------
- **Positive:**
  - Faster development by leveraging Django’s built-in features.
  - Improved maintainability and consistency across the codebase.
  - Benefit from Django’s security updates and community support.
  - Reduced risk of dependency conflicts and maintenance overhead.
- **Negative:**
  - May have to adapt project requirements to fit Django’s conventions.
  - Some Django features may not be as flexible or feature-rich as third-party alternatives.
