Enter the details about the issue here
FastAPI is one of the most popular asyncrhonous web frameworks nowdays. Its well documented, fully typed, generates OpenAPI specs and it's really easy to learn.
I will share a popularity comparation based on github stars.
Stars | Async | |
---|---|---|
Django | 61.2K | ✗ |
Flask | 57.4K | ✗ |
FastAPI | 39.4K | ✓ |
Tornado | 20.3K | ✓ |
Sanic | 15.6K | ✓ |
aiohttp | 12K | ✓ |
Pyramid | 3.6K | ✗ |
Second this, just about to open. FastAPI is gaining popularity incredibly quickly and currently far surpasses any other async framework on the roadmap on every Stack Overflow 2021 Developer Survey metric.
Edit: Reading this and realized I sound like a salesperson. Just like the framework :).
