[Survey] What is your favorite backend web framework

ajskateboarder

I am just asking for opinions because I am curious what the AT community uses for making web APIs. So, what is your favorite backend framework?

And as I said, please don't base your choice off popularity or other statistics (like npm or PyPi downloads), just your own opinion.

By the way, my favorite is FastAPI because it supports automatic OpenAPI schema generation (for making route documentation and strongly-typed API clients) as well as ASGI.

Depends on your use case. Large scale or small API?

Replit is the best paid one, and if you have the Raspberry pi that will work pretty well too!

APIs of any scale. Because why not?

I mean actual Python libraries, not website hosters

I would use flask with python. Its pretty easy to set up and nothing I would make would need very good performance

Flask is easy to set up but probably not amazing for production. I've never really used it myself, but if I were you I'd use Django.

account is half dead, maybe expect any activity

I've been using Express lately. It's a bit like a blank canvas but it works for me. (although the fact that it still uses CommonJS makes me kinda mad.)
I might try Flask some day.

I guess I'm an ATer now.

I think I may have seasoned my posts a bit too much.

Colored Pencil is supposed to color the siggy, but Scratch says it's too big.

Flask is a WSGI application. A WSGI server is used to run the application, converting incoming HTTP requests to the standard WSGI environ, and converting outgoing WSGI responses to HTTP responses.

— https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.2.x/deploying/

So if you use the right WSGI server it should be all fine.

Django is great for large scale projects, since it has a lot of utilities/tools right built into it.

I love using Express because of its modularity with middleware. Deno's Oak framework (and others) look great as well; I'll have to try them soon.

express FTW, but more like a library than a framework

I like using Flask with Jinja, and Express is great too. I've barely dipped my toes in the water with SvelteKit, but it looks amazing.

function greet(name) {
    return "hello " + name;
}
alert(greet("person. i am currently behind you"))

I use mostly fastify, it's faster than Express while still being an extremely simple api

i use arch and sometimes gentoo btw

On Node:
1. Express
2. Webpack (because of create-react-app)
On Python:
1. Flask, because that's the framework i only know.

Webpack is a bundler, not a backend framework. Not really even close.
