Flask and/or Django

Hello everyone. I have a few questions,

  1. What are your thoughts on Flask and/or Django?
  2. Which one do you prefer between the two.
  3. In your opinion which one is the best?

Flask is good and django is better. Flask can be better though.

I want to start learning how to make APIs with python. Would you recommend I use Django in stead?

I have used both flask and Django. I used flask mostly because it was quicker to implement what I wanted with a lot of movement.

If you are starting out, you may start with flask, then Django. You'd realize that flask and Django has a lot in common.

Start with the cs50 flask course - I learnt a lot from it. Use the flask doc too...

Look at FastAPI. It's like Flask.

I would say use flask. This is actually because I did not see anything that was so different from the flask apps I have written/seen so far.
