What is Flask used for?

The question is about flask

Answer

Flask is a lightweight web framework for Python, used primarily for developing web applications and APIs. Its simplicity and flexibility make it ideal for small to medium-sized projects. Flask provides essential tools and libraries for web development, allowing developers to build applications quickly and efficiently. It supports extensions that add application features as if they were implemented in Flask itself, encouraging modular programming. This makes Flask a popular choice for startups and developers looking to create scalable web applications with minimal overhead.
