What is Flask?

Why Flask?🤔

As mentioned flask is an easy to learn and simple framework you can easily build websites like e-commerce very easily without a lot of codes.

Flask vs Django 😀

Here we go with another python framework vs flask. Django is a full-stack web framework, whereas Flask is a micro and lightweight web framework. The features provided by Django help developers build large and complex web applications. On the other hand, Flask accelerates the development of simple web applications by providing the required functionality.
