fastapi VS Flask

only having 1 maintainer

From the official docs:

To save time here, I have prepared a basic Python application developed on FastAPI and if you want to follow along you can get the code from GitHub Repository here.

This repository contains code for asynchronous example api using the Fast Api framework ,Uvicorn server and Postgres Database to perform crud operations on notes.

That sounds like the perfect job for our open-source lib NiceGUI. It is an UI framework on top of FastAPI. That means you can easily setup HTTPS POST endpoints to save the incoming data to a file or database. With very little effort you can also create your webpage which reads the data and displays it.

This package extends the FastAPI response model schema allowing you to have a common response wrapper via a fastapi.routing.APIRoute.

fully type-annotated options for building an API are available - one popular option is FastAPI and everything you expose is declared through pydantic. There is nothing as productive in Go I'm afraid.

A few days ago I was searching the internet for a guide on how to use the jinja library to enable a flask application to generate PDF documents. Since I didn't find anything comprehensible on google, here are my findings and the (partially hacky) code i wrote.

This says much more about you and the developers and codebases you work with than anything to do with Python list comprehensions.

Coming from a point of zero knowledge of the codebase, I picked Flask. I picked the cli.py module in Flask. And what do I find?

8. Flask

A few others have suggested frameworks. Python has Flask and PHP has Laravel - if you haven't, take a look at those. I wrote PHP from scratch for 18 years, then learned to let go... I use Laravel now. :) Worth a look if you're going to continue down the path of learning new stuff!

Low dependency analysis is one of the reasons I like Flask[0].

Flask is an alternative Python library, often compared with Django: "a lightweight WSGI web application framework. It is designed to make getting started quick and easy, with the ability to scale up to complex applications". As can be seen from the source code, it can spin up a Hello World API routing example in just a few lines of extremely simple, Pythonic code. I personally wanted to explore heavier features such as front-end admin panels without spending too much time on a learning curve, so did not delve deeper into Flask - one to revisit in future.

Flask is a micro web framework built with Python. It’s considered a micro web framework because it lacks certain features such as an object-relational mapper.
