Django Channels
===============
Channels is a project to make Django able to handle more than just plain
HTTP requests, including WebSockets and HTTP2, as well as the ability to
run code after a response has been sent for things like thumbnailing or
background calculation.
It's an easy-to-understand extension of the Django view model, and easy
to integrate and deploy.
First, read our :doc:`concepts` documentation to get an idea of the
data model underlying Channels and how they're used inside Django.
Then, read :doc:`getting-started` to see how to get up and running with
WebSockets with only 30 lines of code.
If you want a quick overview, start with :doc:`inshort`.
You can find the Channels repository `on GitHub <http://github.com/andrewgodwin/channels/>`_.
