   :synopsis: Provides cookie- and session-based temporary message storage.

Django provides full support for cookie- and session-based messaging, for
both anonymous and authenticated clients. The messages framework allows you
to temporarily store messages in one request and retrieve them for display
in a subsequent request (usually the next one). Every message is tagged
with a specific ``level`` that determines its priority (e.g., ``info``,
``warning``, or ``error``).
Quite commonly in web applications, you may need to display a one-time
notification message (also know as "flash message") to the user after
processing a form or some other types of user input. For this, Django provides
full support for cookie- and session-based messaging, for both anonymous and
authenticated users. The messages framework allows you to temporarily store
messages in one request and retrieve them for display in a subsequent request
(usually the next one). Every message is tagged with a specific ``level`` that
determines its priority (e.g., ``info``, ``warning``, or ``error``).
