Xylen

A minimal, async-first Python web framework with ultra-low latency and low memory usage.

✨ Features

• Async-first with ASGI native support
• Ultra-low latency and minimal RAM usage
• Smart routing with type-safe path parameters (/user/{id:int})
• Built-in CORS, CSRF, and rate-limiting middleware
• Automatic OpenAPI/Swagger UI (no Pydantic required)
• Dedicated CLI: xylen run --app myapp:app --reload
• Full test client for unit testing
• Zero required dependencies — pure Python

🚀 Quick Start

pip install xylen

Create app.py:

from xylen import Xylen

app = Xylen(
    cors=True,
    rate_limit=True,
    rate_limit_config={"max_requests": 100, "window_seconds": 60}
)

@app.openapi(
    path="/hello",
    methods=["GET"],
    summary="Say hello",
    responses={200: {"description": "A greeting message"}}
)
async def hello(request):
    return {"message": "Hello from Xylen!"}

@app.openapi(
    path="/user/{user_id:int}",
    methods=["GET"],
    summary="Get user by ID"
)
def get_user(request, user_id: int):
    return {"user_id": user_id}

Run with auto-reload:

xylen run --app app:app --reload --port 8000

🧪 Testing

from app import app
from xylen import TestClient

def test_hello():
    client = TestClient(app)
    resp = client.get("/hello")
    assert resp.status_code == 200
    assert resp.json()["message"] == "Hello from Xylen!"

Run tests:

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest

📦 Middleware

Enable built-in security and control:

app = Xylen(
    cors=True,
    csrf=True,
    rate_limit=True,
    rate_limit_config={"max_requests": 10, "window_seconds": 60}
)
