A Deep Dive into the Flask Framework
Flask is a Python web framework that was created by Armin Ronacher to solve both web-based and API-related requirements that need a rapid development approach. It is a lightweight framework with helper classes and methods, a built-in server, a debugger, and a reloader, all of which are required for building scalable web applications and web services.
Unlike the Django framework, Flask is minimalistic and slimmer in that it requires more experience in using Python to craft various coding techniques and workarounds to implement its components. It is more open-ended and extensible than the full-stack Django, which is more friendly to newbies because of its easy-to-build projects and reusable components.
