Flask

Flask

Flask is a micro web framework written in python. It is classified as a microframework because it does not require particular tools or libraries.

Philosophy

  • Minimalist: Flask provides the basics: routing, request handling, and templating. Everything else is up to the developer.
  • Extensible: A large ecosystem of extensions is available to add functionality like database integration, authentication, etc.

Flask is a great choice for smaller projects, APIs, or when you want more control over the components you use. It’s often used as a starting point for building microservices. Compare it with fastapi.
