## What it is
A Django app that routes requests for specific hostnames (like api.example.com) to different URLconfs via configurable host patterns. It supports both dynamic and static host resolution through middleware and regular-expression-based host matching.

## Use cases
- serve api.example.com and beta.example.com from one Django project
- route subdomains to different URLconfs in Django
- map hostnames to Django apps
- multi-tenant Django setup with subdomains
- reverse host names in Django templates
- serve different content per subdomain

## When to choose
- you need subdomain-based routing within a single Django project
- you want to keep separate URL schemes per hostname without running multiple servers
- you need host-aware URL reversing in templates

## When to avoid
- you only need a single domain with path-based routing
- you use a framework other than Django
- your routing is handled at the load balancer or web server level

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: routing, middleware, web-framework
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
