What are the differences between async and sync in Django?

In Django, sync views are executed in a blocking manner, while async views allow for non-blocking operations, improving performance.

Can you give me an example of a sync view?

Sure! A simple sync view might look like this:

from django.http import HttpResponse

def sync_view(request):
    return HttpResponse('This is a synchronous view.')

And how about an async view?

An async view example would be:

from django.http import JsonResponse
import asyncio

async def async_view(request):
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    return JsonResponse({'message': 'This is an asynchronous view.'})

When should I use async views over sync views?

Use async views when you have I/O-bound tasks, like making API calls or database queries, to improve responsiveness.
