Flask
The Python micro framework for building web applications
Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework designed to help developers get started with their web applications quickly and easily with the ability to scale up to complex applications. Being a “micro” framework does not mean that your whole web application must fit into a single Python file (although it can) or that it be limited; rather it means that Flask aims to keep the core simple but extensible. Flask offers suggestions, but it won’t make any decisions for you such as what database to use or what dependencies or project layout to choose. You get to choose the tools and libraries you want to use, so Flask can be everything you need and nothing you don’t. Flask has become one of the most popular Python web application frameworks, and has amassed a great number of extensions provided by the community that make adding new functionality easy. -

Apollo Server
Spec-compliant and production ready JavaScript GraphQL server
Apollo Server is an open-source, spec-compliant GraphQL server that's compatible with any GraphQL client, including Apollo Client. It's the best way to build a production-ready, self-documenting GraphQL API that can use data from any source. Apollo Server provides a simple API for integrating with any Node.js web framework or serverless environment. The @apollo/server package itself ships with a minimally-configurable, standalone web server that handles CORS and body parsing out of the box. Integrations with other environments are community-maintained. Apollo Server's standalone server lets you get a GraphQL server up and running quickly without needing to set up an HTTP server yourself. It allows all the same configuration of GraphQL logic as the Express integration, but does not provide the ability to make fine-grained tweaks to the HTTP-specific behavior of your server. -

Instead of finding bugs in QA or in production, Lucky is designed to catch as many bugs as possible at compile time. Lucky uses Action classes for handling HTTP requests and responses. The classes map the routes and parameters it handles to a response block. Lucky can generate these classes for you with ’lucky gen.action`. Using a class per action provides very solid automatic error detection, as well as the generation of routing, path, and link helpers and methods. -

Rocket
A web framework for Rust
Rocket is a web framework for Rust that makes it simple to write fast, secure web applications without sacrificing flexibility, usability, or type safety. Handling forms is simple and easy. Simply derive FromForm for your structure and let Rocket know which parameter to use. Rocket parses and validates the form request, creates the structure, and calls your function. Bad form request? Rocket doesn’t call your function! What if you want to know if the form was bad? Simple! Change the type of task to Option or Result! Rocket has first-class support for JSON, right out of the box. Simply derive Deserialize or Serialize to receive or return JSON, respectively. Like other important features, JSON works through Rocket’s FromData trait, Rocket’s approach to deriving types from body data. It works like this: specify a data route parameter of any type that implements FromData. A value of that type will then be created automatically from the incoming request body. -
