Comparative studies between Django and RuoYi web development frameworks

Abstract

This thesis presents a comparative analysis of two representative web development frameworks, which are Django and RuoYi. Selecting a suitable development framework is essential for improving the effectiveness and caliber of development, as web applications are becoming more integrated into fundamental business operations across industries. The purpose of this study is to provide developers, technical architects and programming learners with a systematic approach to assessing web development frameworks, as well as a thorough grasp of the implementation and design of Django and RuoYi. Learning and development efficiency, security performances and applicable scenarios are the three main aspects of both frameworks, examined in this study. It employs a multi-faceted methodology that combines theoretical examination with practical evidence. The study begins with a systematic review of official documentation, examining how each framework presents its concepts and guides developers through implementation. Then it examines architecture and design philosophy, analyzing fundamental design ideas and decisions. These philosophical differences are practically manifested throughout implementations of Django and RuoYi. Integration within case studies demonstrates their performance in production environments. Each web development framework has its distinct strengths. With its extensive documentation, integrated security features and long-term support approaches, Django is an excellent choice for developing large-scale applications. The fine-grained permission management system and rich pre-configured components of RuoYi all contribute to its strengths in the development of rapid applications. RuoYi is especially useful for small to medium-sized enterprise applications and government service platforms, while Django is better suited for the development of applications and websites, that are in social networking, e-commerce and educational sectors. The thesis concludes that neither framework is superior to the other. Rather, multiple factors such as project specific requirements, technical expertise of the developers, and so on all together determine the most suitable choice. It emphasizes that choosing a web framework should be based on a thorough evaluation of different factors
