A form is a way to collect data from the user and send it to the server.
In Django, forms are created by inheriting from the forms.Form class or the forms.ModelForm class.
The forms.Form class allows you to define the fields of the form and their validation rules.
The forms.ModelForm class is used when the form is based on a model, it will automatically generate the form fields based on the model’s fields.
Forms can be rendered in templates using the form.as_p, form.as_table, and form.as_ul methods.
Form data is sent to the server using the HTTP POST method.
In the view, the form data is accessed using the request.POST or request.GET attribute, depending on the method used in the form.
Form data is validated using the is_valid() method, and errors can be accessed using the errors attribute.
