What is the difference between Django cache and session?

What is the difference between Django cache and session?

Django cache is used to store data temporarily to speed up responses, while sessions are used to store user-specific data across requests.

Can you give me examples of when to use cache and when to use sessions?

Use cache for data that doesn't change often, like product listings. Use sessions for user login states or shopping cart contents.

Are there any performance implications of using one over the other?

Yes, caching can significantly improve performance by reducing database hits, while sessions can add overhead if not managed properly.

How do I implement caching in Django?

You can implement caching in Django using the built-in cache framework, configuring it in your settings.py file.
