What is the difference between Express and Django?

1.	What is the difference between Express and Django?
Answer» Express and Django are both USED for backend development, but they are different in many ways. These are the main DIFFERENCES in both platforms: Express is a framework of Node.JS, which in turn is a JavaScript framework for backend development. On the other hand, Django is a python framework for backend development. Express is a lot like ReactJS which is a light-weight JavaScript frontend library and you need to install npm packages to add functionalities to it. On the other hand Django is like the JavaScript frontend framework of Angular, which has almost everything included in it. But this makes both Angular and Django harder to learn and implement. Performance wise Express is way ahead of Django and that is the reason, it is used in production projects more. In comparison to it Django is used in HOBBYIST projects more and used by python programmers. In Express.js, we can develop Full-Stack apps without even using Frontend libraries like React. This is done by using templating engines like EJS to output HTML, CSS and JS codes . On the other hand, it is not possible in Django and we have to develop the frontend separately.
