What are some examples of using Django with async features?

Django 3.1 introduced async views, allowing you to write asynchronous code. Would you like to see a specific example?

Yes, can you show me an example of an async view?

Sure! Here's a simple async view that fetches data from an external API:

from django.http import JsonResponse
import httpx

async def async_view(request):
    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        response = await client.get('https://api.example.com/data')
    return JsonResponse(response.json())

How does this improve performance compared to a regular view?

Using async views allows Django to handle other requests while waiting for I/O operations, improving overall performance, especially under high load.
