Description:
kristall 0.2.2
Lightweight web framework
(wink, wink)
for building APIs and backends.
Reasonably fast in execution, quite fast for development. If you need
gazillions of requests served by single process in a second then there are
better options than Kristall. I’m happy when it’s not slower than Flask.
Why
Some frameworks suck here, others suck there and none is good at all things
I want. I decided to build a WSGI application tool that’s based on
Werkzeug and is simpler than
Flask. Sure, there are
Flask extensions that make writing
REST APIs simpler like
Flask-RESTFul and
Flask-RESTX but they
are built on top of Flask and do many extra things that are better done by
others, or not done at all. I wanted something that is somewhere in between
Falcon and Flask. Simplicity of
Falcon with convenience of Flask.
But since not everything sucks in Falcon I’d grab some ideas, like
resourceful routing without need to subclass specific Resource base class,
or only static route registration.
What
resourceful routing
static route registration
only JSON content type supported
very limited automatic coercion to JSON
That’s it for now.
Future developments:
JWT-based resource access control (optional)
CORS support (optional)
What not
no decorator-based route registration - there’s only one way to register
routes and it is explicit
no built-in support for any other content type than application/json on
both input and output
no fancy JSON de/encoding, only builtin json module is used in default JSON
handling - use schema parsing/validating library eg.
Marshmallow or
Colander if
you need anything beyond that; default behaviour may be customised to some
degree by providing JSON decoder and encoder classes
How
Really very thin wrapper over Werkzeug utility functions and classes.
Seriously, I’m not calling this a framework. Not yet. It consists of
Application class that’s and entry point to runtime and
Request/Response objects that in fact are Werkzeug’s built in
wrappers reconfigured to support only JSON as transport media with some
convenience methods.
Runtime dependencies
Python 3.7
Werkzeug 0.16
These are minimal versions of requirements.
