FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for productionDocumentation:https://fastapi.tiangolo.comSource Code:https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapiFastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.8+ based on standard Python type hints.The key features are:Fast: Very high performance, on par withNodeJSandGo(thanks to Starlette and Pydantic).One of the fastest Python frameworks available.Fast to code: Increase the speed to develop features by about 200% to 300%. *Fewer bugs: Reduce about 40% of human (developer) induced errors. *Intuitive: Great editor support.Completioneverywhere. Less time debugging.Easy: Designed to be easy to use and learn. Less time reading docs.Short: Minimize code duplication. Multiple features from each parameter declaration. Fewer bugs.Robust: Get production-ready code. With automatic interactive documentation.Standards-based: Based on (and fully compatible with) the open standards for APIs:OpenAPI(previously known as Swagger) andJSON Schema.* estimation based on tests on an internal development team, building production applications.SponsorsOther sponsorsOpinions"[...] I'm usingFastAPIa ton these days.
