What is ExpressPython?
expressPython is an open-source, lightweight Python web application framework designed for building efficient, scalable and secure web apps quickly and with little hassle. It runs on top of standard Python libraries and is widely considered one of the best frameworks for rapidly building single and multi-page web applications, web services and RESTful APIs in Python.
Some key features and benefits of expressPython include:
- Fast performance - Express apps are very fast and lightweight compared to some other full-stack frameworks thanks to its thin layer over vanilla Python and non-opinionated structure.
- Easy to learn - Express has a simple and minimal setup that's easy for Python developers to quickly grasp and use to start building applications and APIs.
- Flexible and unopinionated - expressPython lets you structure your app how you want without forcing a certain project layout.
- Robust routing - Express has a simple routing API that allows you to quickly map routes to application logic.
- Configurable middleware - Express middleware offers extensible request processing pipe-lines for security, compression and more.
- Template engine integration - Allows using popular engines like Jinja to generate template files.
- Database integration - Easy to integrate and connect to databases like MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL etc.
expressPython is suitable for building fast and scalable real-time services and web interfaces. Many popular apps, services and companies like Mozilla, IBM, PayPal and Uber use Express in production.
