What are Class-based views in Django

A Class-based view in Django provides an alternative to implementing views as Python objects instead of functions.

A view in Django is actually a callable which does the work of taking a request and returning a response in return. This is not just a function but is much more than that. Django provides a particular example of some of the classes which can be conveniently used as the views. These allow a person to structure the views and reuse the code by binding the inheritance and the mixins.
