The Purpose of Django's ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) and How It Works

Django's ORM allows developers to interact with the database using Python objects rather than writing raw SQL queries. This simplifies database operations and makes it easier to work with complex data structures in a Django application.

The ORM works by mapping database tables to Python classes and database rows to instances of those classes. Developers can perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on database records using Python method calls, without having to write SQL queries manually.

By abstracting the underlying database interactions, Django's ORM reduces the complexity of database management and allows developers to focus on building the application logic. This results in more maintainable code and faster development cycles.
