Faster time-to-market with API-first
When it comes to Flask, in particular, there’re plenty of choices. And in fairness, not all frameworks are created equal. You’ve got flasgger, restx (successor of flask-restplus), flask-RESTful, and flask-smorest, to mention a few. How do you choose among those???

Unsure how to register API endpoints using namespaces in flask-restx
However, after following [the example](https://github.com/python-restx/flask-restx/tree/88497ced96674916403fa7829de693eaa3485a08/examples/zoo_app), [more complex tutorials](https://github.com/TheMorpheus407/Tutorials/tree/master/Flask/RestplusAPI) or other [basic tutorials](https://blog.ordix.de/rest), I still only receive 404s when calling get on /api or the endpoints I tried to define.
