Why we should use Flask or Django, which is Better for Web Applications?

A web developer has option to choose from a wide range of web frameworks while using Python as server-side programming languages. He can take advantage of the full-stack Python web frameworks to accelerate development of large and complex web applications by availing a number of robust features and tools. Likewise, he can also opt for micro and lightweight Python web frameworks to build simple web applications without putting extra time and effort.

Both Django and Flask are hugely popular among Python programmers. Django is a full-stack web framework for Python, whereas Flask is a lightweight and extensible Python web framework. 

What Is Django and Flask?

Django is a well-polished framework aimed at rapid deployment and development of various web apps written in Python; this framework is distributed as an open-source. The framework itself is actually a code library, which helps developers in building reliable, easily scalable and maintainable web apps. Django is the most popular of a wide variety of frameworks, available to Python developers. There is one limitation though: some things are intended to be done in one and the only one way. You can replace certain modules yet some core functionality should remain unchanged. This is totally fine in 95% of the projects, though, and saves a ton of time, money and effort during development, as you have all the solutions you need straight out of the box.

Flask is a web framework. This means flask provides you with tools, libraries and technologies that allow you to build a web application. This web application can be some web pages, a blog, a wiki or go as big as a web-based calendar application or a commercial website.

Django Vs Flask

overall, if we have to make a choice of Django vs Flask, always choose Django. It is a solid framework, great for launching apps for everyone - from startups to big companies; it excels at implementing Python possibilities and provides all the tools needed for sufficient app operations, while using Django to deliver a solid product, meeting and exceeding customer’s expectations.

Flask, quite opposite, it works more like a sandbox for developers, where they can hone their skills and quickly test solutions using different modules and libraries. We prefer using it for testing and working on less-structured objects.
