Web API Utils for Werkzeug

wau - Web API Utils

Web API Utils, or short wau, is a thin layer on top of Werkzeug to provide a simple and consistent interface for writing APIs in Python. wau is built for educational purposes and is not intended for production use. It is opinionated, as it only supports JSON as data format. It uses simple type annotations to define the expected input and output of the API endpoints. Common tasks as authentication, CORS and server-sent events are supported by out of the box.
