Flask - Lightweight Python Web Framework

Overview

Flask is a micro-framework for Python web development, designed for building microservices, REST APIs, and flexible web applications. Its minimalist core and extensive extension ecosystem make it ideal for projects requiring lightweight architecture, rapid development, and full control over components.

Key Features:

• Micro-framework philosophy (minimal core, extensible)
• Flask-RESTful for API development
• Blueprints for modular application structure
• SQLAlchemy integration via Flask-SQLAlchemy
• Jinja2 templating engine
• Built-in development server with auto-reload
• Werkzeug WSGI toolkit foundation
• Large extension ecosystem (Flask-Login, Flask-JWT, Flask-CORS)
• Production deployment with Gunicorn/uWSGI
