Flask is a lightweight and flexible Python web framework designed for building simple to complex web applications. It follows the WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface) standard and gives developers the flexibility to choose components as needed.

Why Do We Use Flask in Our Projects?

– Lightweight & Minimalistic 🚀
As a micro-framework, Flask includes only the essential features by default, allowing developers to add components as needed. This makes it fast, efficient, and highly customizable.

– Flexibility & Extensibility 🔗
Unlike larger frameworks, it lets developers choose their own database, authentication system, and third-party libraries, offering full control over the application structure.

– Built-in Development Server & Debugging Tools 🛠️
It provides a built-in web server for testing and debugging applications efficiently, making development smoother and more convenient.

– REST API Development 🌐
Flask is widely used for building RESTful APIs, with easy integration of Flask-RESTful and Flask-SQLAlchemy, making API development simple and efficient.

Scalability & Performance ⚡
Ideal for small to medium-sized applications, this framework can scale efficiently by integrating with extensions and external services. Many companies leverage it for microservices and APIs.
