## Overview

Book Worm is a Django book-recommendation web app. A visitor can browse random picks, submit genre preferences for recommendations, or search by genre; Django routes requests to view functions, which use the book dataset and render results. The sampled views also call genre conversion and a KNN module referenced by the source index, but that module is absent from the supplied tree, so it is not represented separately. Firebase supplies book records. The graph reflects the sampled routes and source; templates and the full project-level URL wiring were not provided.

Main entry points: [`pages_app/views.py`](https://github.com/ashrafyawar/book-worm-web-application/blob/master/pages_app/views.py) (Views), [`pages_app/readFromFirebase.py`](https://github.com/ashrafyawar/book-worm-web-application/blob/master/pages_app/readFromFirebase.py) (Firebase reader), [`pages_app/urls.py`](https://github.com/ashrafyawar/book-worm-web-application/blob/master/pages_app/urls.py) (App routes), [`pages_app/models.py`](https://github.com/ashrafyawar/book-worm-web-application/blob/master/pages_app/models.py) (Book records)
