What is this project?

Falcon framework is the no-nonsense, minimalist REST and app backend framework for Python developers, with a focus on reliability, correctness, and performance at scale.

Falcon supports both WSGI and, as of version 3.0, ASGI application servers.

Do you know about other similar projects?

Yes, there are many web frameworks for Python 😈

If so, how is this one different?

Falcon tries to do as little as possible while remaining highly effective.

• ASGI, WSGI, and WebSocket support
• Native asyncio support
• No reliance on magic globals for routing and state management
• Stable interfaces with an emphasis on backwards-compatibility
• Simple API modeling through centralized RESTful routing
• Highly-optimized, extensible code base
• Easy access to headers and bodies through request and response classes
• DRY request processing via middleware components and hooks
• Strict adherence to RFCs
• Idiomatic HTTP error responses
• Straightforward exception handling
• Snappy testing with WSGI/ASGI helpers and mocks
• CPython 3.5+ and PyPy 3.5+ support
