Skill IQ

Flask is a micro web framework written in Python that does not require particular tools or libraries. It does not ship with a database layer, form validation, or any other components where pre-existing third-party libraries provide common functions. It does support extensions that can add application features as if they were implemented in Flask itself such as object-relational mappers, form validation, upload handling, and various open authentication technologies.
