Explain the purpose and basic structure of Django models. How do they help in creating and managing database schema in a Django application?
Django models are Python objects used to define the structure of data stored. Via these models, associations across data can be had, whether it is one-to-one (OnToOneField), one to many (ForeignKey), or many to many (ManyToManyField). The number of fields of data can be defined.
The different field options are listed here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/models/fields/#field-options
Models also consist of metadata and methods.
