jetio 1.2.0

A modern, high-performance Python web framework designed to transform your SQLAlchemy models directly into fully-featured, production-ready REST APIs with minimal code. Built with asyncio, SQLAlchemy, and Pydantic.

Jetio

The Zero-Boilerplate Python Framework for Rapid API Development

Jetio is a modern, high-performance Python web framework designed to transform your SQLAlchemy models directly into fully-featured, production-ready REST APIs with minimal code. Stop writing boilerplate and start building what matters.

---

Key Features

• Model-Driven APIs: Use standard SQLAlchemy models as your single source of truth for your database, validation, and API serialization.
• Automatic CRUD: Instantly generate robust Create, Read, Update, and Delete endpoints for any model with a single line of code.
• Secure by Design: Easily secure your auto-generated endpoints with a single flag and plug in your own authentication logic.
• Async First: Built from the ground up on an async core (powered by Starlette) for maximum performance and scalability.
• Automatic Docs: Get interactive and functional Swagger UI out of the box.
• Flexible & Familiar: Escape the generator whenever you need to. Use familiar decorator-based routing for custom endpoints, giving you the best of both worlds.

Simple Hello Jetio app

from jetio import Jetio
app = Jetio()

@app.route('/')
async def hello():
    return "Hello, Jetio!"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

Activating swagger-UI for Hello Jetio app

from jetio import Jetio, add_swagger_ui # add the add_swagger_ui

app = Jetio()
add_swagger_ui(app) # generates the swagger-UI

@app.route('/')
async def hello():
    return "Hello, Jetio!"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

Example - Using models in separate file

# model.py
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped
from jetio import JetioModel

class User(JetioModel):
    username: Mapped[str]
    email: Mapped[str]

class Minister(JetioModel):
    first_name: Mapped[str]
    last_name: Mapped[str]

Get Jetio to make your app with imported models

# app.py
from jetio import Jetio, CrudRouter, add_swagger_ui
from model import User, Minister

app = Jetio()
add_swagger_ui(app)

# Generate 5 CRUD routes per model
CrudRouter(model=User).register_routes(app)
CrudRouter(model=Minister).register_routes(app)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

Database setup

Use your preferred DB tool.

or for quick dev environment, you can also change your app.py above to:

# app.py
from jetio import Jetio, CrudRouter, add_swagger_ui, Base, engine
from model import User, Minister
import asyncio

app = Jetio()
add_swagger_ui(app)

# Generate 5 CRUD routes per model
CrudRouter(model=User).register_routes(app)
CrudRouter(model=Minister).register_routes(app)


# --- Database and Server Startup ---
async def create_db_and_tables():
    async with engine.begin() as conn:
        await conn.run_sync(Base.metadata.create_all)
    print("Database tables created.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(create_db_and_tables())
    app.run()

Simplified Single File Setup

You could simply have the model classes in the main file as follows.

from jetio import Jetio, CrudRouter, JetioModel, add_swagger_ui, Base, engine
import asyncio
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped

class Staff(JetioModel):
    username: Mapped[str]
    email: Mapped[str]

class Report(JetioModel):
    title: Mapped[str]
    content: Mapped[str]

app = Jetio()
add_swagger_ui(app)

# Generate 5 CRUD routes per model
CrudRouter(model=Staff).register_routes(app)
CrudRouter(model=Report).register_routes(app)


# --- Database and Server Startup ---
async def create_db_and_tables():
    async with engine.begin() as conn:
        await conn.run_sync(Base.metadata.create_all)
    print("Database tables created.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(create_db_and_tables())
    app.run()

The CrudRouter is a powerful tool that allows you to cleanly declare your API's functionality, saving you from writing hundreds of lines of boilerplate code.

Relationship

Jetio relationship prevents N+1 Query - Built-in relationship loading using SQLAlchemy's selectinload() prevents performance bottlenecks automatically.

One-to-many Relationship

# app.py
from jetio import Jetio, CrudRouter, JetioModel, add_swagger_ui, Base, engine
from sqlalchemy import ForeignKey
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped, mapped_column, relationship
from typing import List
import asyncio

#===================================================================
# Models - you can have this in a separate file, however you desire.
#===================================================================
class Author(JetioModel):
    __tablename__ = 'authors'
    name: Mapped[str]
    email: Mapped[str]
    books: Mapped[List["Book"]] = relationship(back_populates="author", cascade="all, delete-orphan")


class Book(JetioModel):
    __tablename__ = 'books'
    title: Mapped[str]
    isbn: Mapped[str]
    author_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("authors.id"))
    author: Mapped["Author"] = relationship(back_populates="books")
#===========================================
# end of models
# =========================================

app = Jetio()
add_swagger_ui(app)

CrudRouter(model=Author, load_relationships=["books"]).register_routes(app)
CrudRouter(model=Book, load_relationships=["author"]).register_routes(app)

async def init_db():
    async with engine.begin() as conn:
        await conn.run_sync(Base.metadata.create_all)
    print("✅ Database initialized")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(init_db())
    print("🚀 Server running at http://localhost:8000")
    print("📚 API docs at http://localhost:8000/docs")
    app.run()

Our Philosophy

Boilerplate code is a barrier between a great idea and a finished product. Modern development should be about defining your logic, not endlessly reimplementing the plumbing. Jetio believes in convention over configuration and the power of using a single source of truth. Your data model is your API.
