Among Python web frameworks, FastAPI is one of the more popular options, competing primarily with Flask and Django, which are also very popular. FastAPI sits somewhere in between these two options, with more out of the box functionality and a steeper learning curve than Flask, but with less functionality and being easier to learn than Django^[1] . FastAPI, as the name implies, aims to be used in cases where you need a high performance web API, while both Flask and Django have a broader scope. A comprehensive list of Python web frameworks is available on the python.org wiki^[2], where Django is referred to as a "popular full-stack framework" while both FastAPI and Flask are listed as "popular non full-stack frameworks".
