The HTTP GET method return a form.

The HTTP POST method update the object.

from django.views.generic import UpdateView

DeleteView

View for deleting an object retrieved with `self.get_object()`.

The HTTP GET method return a template of validation.

The HTTP POST method delete the object.

from django.views.generic import DeleteView

ListView

Render some list of objects, set by :

 - `self.model`
or
 - `self.queryset`

Need to be any iterable of items, not just a queryset.

from django.views.generic import ListView

DetailView

Render a "detail" view of an object.

By default this is a model instance looked up from `self.queryset`, but the
view will support display of any object by overriding `self.get_object()`.

from django.views.generic import DetailView

RedirectView

A view that provides a redirect on any GET request.

from django.views.generic import RedirectView

TemplateView

A view that renders a template.  

This view will also pass into the context
any keyword arguments passed by the URLconf.

from django.views.generic import TemplateView
