# Class-based generic views - flattened index

This index provides an alternate organization of the reference documentation for class-based views. For each view, the effective attributes and methods from the class tree are represented under that view. For the reference documentation organized by the class which defines the behavior, see Class-based views.

Classy Class-Based Views provides a nice interface to navigate the class hierarchy of the built-in class-based views.
