What are function-based views in Django?

Function-based views (FBVs) in Django are Python functions that receive a web request and return a web response.

Can you give me an example of a function-based view?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.http import HttpResponse

def my_view(request):
    return HttpResponse('Hello, World!')

How do I map this view to a URL?

You can map it in your urls.py like this:

from django.urls import path
from .views import my_view

urlpatterns = [
    path('hello/', my_view),
]

What are the advantages of using function-based views?

FBVs are simple and easy to understand, making them great for small applications or straightforward views.
