You'll store this data in a ``fixtures`` directory inside your app.
Loading data is easy: just call :djadmin:`manage.py loaddata fixturename

Every time you run :djadmin:`loaddata` the data will be read from the fixture
and re-loaded into the database. Note that this means that if you change one of
the rows created by a fixture and then run :djadmin:`loaddata` again you'll

Where Django finds fixture files
--------------------------------
By default, Django looks in the ``fixtures`` directory inside each app for
fixtures. You can set the :setting:`FIXTURE_DIRS` setting to a list of
additional directories where Django should look.
When running :djadmin:`manage.py loaddata <loaddata>`, you can also
specify an absolute path to a fixture file, which overrides searching
the usual directories.

Fixtures are also used by the :ref:`testing framework
