## What it is
A Django application and library for importing and exporting data between Django models and file formats like CSV, XLSX, JSON, YAML, and HTML via tablib. It works programmatically and includes optional Django Admin integration with data preview.

## Use cases
- import csv data into django models
- export django admin data to excel
- bulk import users from spreadsheet
- export database records as json
- add import/export buttons to django admin
- preview data before importing into django

## When to choose
- you use Django and need reliable model import/export
- you want admin UI integration for data import/export
- you need support for many file formats (csv, xlsx, json, yaml)

## When to avoid
- you are not using Django
- you need streaming imports of very large datasets beyond memory
- you need a framework-agnostic Python data pipeline

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: etl, csv, json, file-system
- domain: web-development, backend, files
- platform: python
- tags: django, import-export, xlsx, tablib, django-admin, data-import, data-export, data-engineering, web-server
