## What it is
django-extra-views is a Python library providing additional class-based generic views for Django, covering patterns like formsets, inline formsets, and combined model-plus-inlines editing. It extends Django's built-in generic views with mixins for sorting, searching, and success messages.

## Use cases
- create a view that edits a model and multiple inline formsets at once
- build formset-based views like Django's admin change forms
- edit related child objects inline on a parent model page
- add search or sorting to a generic ListView
- handle generic foreign key inline formsets in a view

## When to avoid
- you only need simple single-model CRUD covered by Django's built-in generic views
- you use a non-Django Python web framework
- you need paginated ModelFormSet views, which are not yet supported
