What is this Python project?

DB agnostic framework to build auto-documented REST APIs with Flask and marshmallow

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

This is a glue layer on top of great libraries from the marshmallow ecosystem:

• marshmallow itself for serialization, deserialization and validation
• webargs to parse request arguments
• apispec to generate OpenAPI documentation

flask-rest-api does not develop its own serialization/deserialization logic, which means less potential errors. It relies on marshmallow, which is a reference library for those tasks. It reduces the boilerplate even more if the application uses an ORM or ODM that can generate marshmallow schemas from the database model (marshmallow-sqlalchemy, umongo or marshmallow-mongoengine,...).

The OpenAPI (Swagger) specification is automatically generated, yet customizable, and exposed with ReDoc or Swagger UI.

It includes features not found in other similar frameworks:

• Pagination
• ETag

flask-rest-api is Python3 only. It supports marshmallow 2 and 3.
