Flask

Flask is a lightweight and flexible Python web framework designed to simplify the process of building web applications. It is characterized by its minimalist core, which provides essential tools and functionalities necessary for developing web applications but leaves plenty of room for extensibility. As a microframework, Flask emphasizes simplicity and ease of use, allowing developers to choose their components, such as ORMs or form libraries, and integrate them easily. Flask excels in supporting rapid development due to its built-in development server and debugger, Jinja2 templating engine, and extensive documentation. It is ideal for small to medium-sized applications and prototyping new ideas, given its minimal complexity and configuration. Flask's design is guided by best practices and patterns from the Python ecosystem, making it a popular choice among developers seeking to create RESTful services, APIs, and web applications without the overhead of more feature-rich frameworks.
