# 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.
