Flask Restplus
Use FastAPI instead
Flask-RESTPlus is an extension for Flask that adds support for quickly building REST APIs. Flask-RESTPlus encourages best practices with minimal setup. If you are familiar with Flask, Flask-RESTPlus should be easy to pick up. It provides a coherent collection of decorators and tools to describe your API and expose its documentation properly using Swagger.
Over plain flask it adds the following capabilities:
- It defines namespaces, which are ways of creating prefixes and structuring the code: This helps long-term maintenance and helps with the design when creating new endpoints.
- It has a full solution for parsing input parameters: This means that we have an easy way of dealing with endpoints that requires several parameters and validates them.
- It has a serialization framework for the resulting objects: This helps to define objects that can be reused, clarifying the interface and simplifying the development.
- It has full Swagger API documentation support.
