Building RESTFUL APIs Using Flask

[Eli]

Flask is a BSD licensed microframework for Python applications based on Werkzeug, Jinja 2 and good intentions. Flask is considered more Pythonic ( Pythonic means code that doesn't just get the syntax right but that follows the conventions of the Python community and uses the language in the way it is intended to be used - Pythonic programming promotes exploiting the features of the Python language to produce code that is clear, concise and maintainable) than Django because Flask web application code is in most cases more explicit. Flask is easy to get started with as a beginner and getting a simple application up and running. In the video below, Michał Karzyński explains during EuroPython 2016, how to build beautiful RESTful APIs using Flask.
