## What it is
A Django app providing form fields and widgets for integrating Google reCAPTCHA (v2 checkbox, v2 invisible, and v3) into Django forms. It handles client-side widget rendering and server-side verification of reCAPTCHA responses.

## Use cases
- add recaptcha to django forms
- protect django forms from bots and spam
- integrate recaptcha v3 score checking in django
- add invisible recaptcha to a django site
- validate recaptcha responses server-side in django

## When to choose
- you use Django and need Google reCAPTCHA protection on forms
- you want a maintained, pip-installable captcha field with v2 and v3 support
- you need per-field reCAPTCHA key configuration or proxy support

## When to avoid
- you use Flask, FastAPI, or a non-Django framework
- you need a captcha provider other than Google reCAPTCHA (e.g. hCaptcha, Turnstile)
- you want a fully self-hosted captcha solution without third-party API calls
