What's the difference between django.views.generic.ListView and django.views.generic.list_detail?

What's the difference between django.views.generic.ListView and django.views.generic.list_detail?

I think the two have same function. Only the usage of them are different. Why do both of them exist?

The django.views.generic.list_detail module contains a number of function-based generic views (object_detail, object_list), which used to be how generic views were done in Django prior to (IIRC) Django 1.3. On the other hand, django.views.generic.ListView is a class-based generic view, introduced in Django 1.3 (again IIRC).

In newer versions of Django, function-based generic views have been deprecated in favor of class-based views.

Does that answer your question?

Yes, thank you very much. I got it.
