What are async views in Django and how do I use them?

Async views in Django allow you to handle requests asynchronously, improving performance for I/O-bound tasks.

Can you give me an example of how to create an async view?

Sure! You can define an async view using the 'async def' syntax. Here's a simple example:

from django.http import JsonResponse

async def my_async_view(request):
    data = await some_async_function()
    return JsonResponse(data)

What are the benefits of using async views?

The main benefits include better performance for I/O-bound operations, reduced latency, and improved scalability.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of?

Yes, async views can only be used with certain Django features and middleware. Also, not all libraries support async.
