Are you building a traditional web application that connects to a database, requires CRUD (Create-Read-Update-Delete) functionality, and user authentication? If yes, Django has built-in solutions for all of these needs. By comparison, Flask requires installing multiple third-party libraries: Flask-SQLAlchemy to connect to the database, Flask-Migrate to manage database migrations, Flask-WTF and WTForms for forms, Flask-Login for user authentication, FLask-Mail for email support, Flask-Security for security features, Flask-Admin for an admin interface to manage application data, Flask-Caching for caching support, Flask-BCrypt for password hashing and so on." <p style="margin-left:40px">"The true comparison of these web frameworks depends on your project's needs.

"The power of Django is that you don't have to worry about any of these things. They are included, tested, and supported by the community. For Flask, the third-party libraries are not as tightly integrated and require more manual installation by the developer. This affords greater flexibility but also requires more programmer expertise." "The power of Django is that you don't have to worry about any of these things.
