Channels

Channels is a project that extends Django's capabilities beyond traditional HTTP, enabling it to handle asynchronous protocols such as WebSockets, chat protocols, and IoT protocols. It is built upon the Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface (ASGI) specification, allowing Django applications to support long-running, event-driven connections alongside conventional HTTP views. The library is currently at version 4.3.2 and is actively maintained as an official Django Project, aligning its release cadence and Python/Django version support with the core framework.
