  Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework for Python, designed
  to make getting started quick and easy with the ability to scale up to
  complex applications. It provides a simple core with Jinja2 templating and
  Werkzeug WSGI toolkit, and is extensible through a rich ecosystem of
  extensions for database integration, form validation, authentication, and
  more. Flask is a popular foundation for building APIs and web services
  in Python.

      Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework for Python.
      It is commonly used as a foundation for building HTTP APIs and web
      services. While Flask itself does not expose an HTTP API, it ships
      with a configurable runtime whose configuration surface is captured
      here as a JSON Schema for tooling and validation purposes.
