      What is Django?

      Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

      What is Node.js?

      Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

      What is Spring Framework?

      It provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications - on any kind of deployment platform. The framework's core features can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions for building web applications on top of the Java EE platform.
