Flask

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A lightweight Python web microframework that provides the essentials — routing, request handling, templating — without imposing an ORM, form library, or project structure. The opposite of Django's batteries-included approach.

    In plain English: A minimal Python web framework — it gives you just enough to build a web app and lets you choose everything else yourself.

    Example: "Five lines of Flask and you have a working API endpoint. That's the whole pitch."
