How to Choose the Right API Framework for Python?
When selecting between Flask, Django REST Framework, and FastAPI for API development in Python: Opt for Flask if you need a lightweight and flexible framework that allows for fine-grained control over your application components, ideal for smaller applications or rapid development. Choose Django REST Framework if you're already using Django and require a comprehensive solution with a rich ecosystem for building web APIs with out-of-the-box functionalities. Use FastAPI for high-performance API development that leverages modern Python features like type hints and asynchronous programming, particularly effective for building APIs that require fast I/O operations and automatic interactive documentation.
