How can I implement view caching in Django using the cache framework?

To implement view caching in Django, you can use the cache_page decorator. This allows you to cache the output of a view for a specified amount of time.

Can you show me an example of how to use the cache_page decorator?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page

@cache_page(60 * 15)  # Cache for 15 minutes
def my_view(request):
    # Your view logic here
    return HttpResponse('Hello, world!')

What if I want to cache a view conditionally?

You can use the cache template tag or create a custom caching mechanism using the cache framework to cache conditionally based on your logic.

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, caching can significantly improve performance, but be cautious about cache invalidation and ensure that your cache doesn't serve stale data.
