Features #

Fast #

Falcon is a blazing fast, minimalist Python web API framework for building robust app backends and microservices. The framework works great with both asyncio (ASGI) and gevent/meinheld (WSGI).

Reliable #

LinkedIn, Paypal, Wargaming, GOVCERT.LU, and many others rely on Falcon to power mission-critical services. Falcon focuses on stability, correctness, and performance at scale.

RESTful #

The Falcon web framework encourages the REST architectural style. Resource classes implement HTTP method handlers that resolve requests and perform state transitions.

Complementary #

Falcon complements more general Python web frameworks by providing extra reliability, flexibility, and performance wherever you need it.

Extensible #

A number of Falcon add-ons, templates, and complementary packages are available for use in your projects. We’ve listed several of these on the Falcon wiki as a starting point, but you may also wish to search PyPI for additional resources.

Compatible #

Thanks to ASGI andWSGI, Falcon runs on a large variety of web servers and platforms. Falcon works great with CPython 3.5+. Or try PyPy for an extra speed boost!
