About Flask

Flask is 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. It began as a simple wrapper around Werkzeug and Jinja and has become one of the most popular Python web application frameworks. Flask offers suggestions, but doesn't enforce any dependencies or project layout. It is up to the developer to choose the tools and libraries they want to use. There are many extensions provided by the community that make adding new functionality easy.

FastAPI
FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. Fast: Very high performance, on par with NodeJS and Go (thanks to Starlette and Pydantic). One of the fastest Python frameworks available. Minimize code duplication, multiple features from each parameter declaration.

Express
Express
Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications. With a myriad of HTTP utility methods and middleware at your disposal, creating a robust API is quick and easy. Express provides a thin layer of fundamental web application features, without obscuring Node.js features that you know and love. Express has no notion of a database. This concept is left up to third-party Node modules, allowing you to interface with nearly any database. In Express, 404 responses are not the result of an error, so the error-handler middleware will not capture them. This behavior is because a 404 response simply indicates the absence of additional work to do; in other words, Express has executed all middleware functions and routes, and found that none of them responded.

Giotto
Giotto
It is based on the concept of Model, View and Controllers. The framework is designed to enforce a clean style that results in code that is maintainable over a long period. Other popular web frameworks are built with a mindset of launching fast. This results in code that will deploy quickly, but falls under it’s own complexity after many iterations. An example of a controller process is Apache, or gunicorn. A manifest is given to the controller process when it is started. All incoming requests to the controller process will be routed to a program contained within the manifest. A manifest is just a collection of programs. A user makes a request to the controller process. This can be a web request, or a command line invocation, or any other action that is handled by a controller process.

    "Very simple python web framework"

    Posted 2022-07-30

    Pros: - extremely easy to set up
    - quite fast
    - simple syntax allows for easy REST API creation
    - simple templating engine
    - JSON serialization support
    - free

    Cons: - very poor documentation
    - very limited features compared to something like jekyll

    Overall: Overall Flask is a good option if you need a quick and crude Python REST API. It doesn't have a lot of advanced features though.
