Django vs Flask

Django and Flask are two different libraries made for backend web development. Django comes with almost everything included, but it is more complicated to set up. Flask is much easier to set up, but it does not include everything out of the box. If you are building a mini-project or a hackathon prototype, Flask is usually a better fit. If you are building something for real-world production use, Django can be a better choice.

Another thing to consider is routing. In Flask, you can route like this:

@app.route("/action", methods=["GET", "POST"])

In Django, you usually create a separate URL routing file and connect it to your view files. This can feel slower for small projects and hackathons because it takes extra setup. Setting up static files can also feel easier in Flask than in Django for very small projects.
