RESTing with falcon

"Lets bring our APIs to the Interwebs!"

The Problem

• I have an API and it is awesome!
• But how can i expose this as a web service?
• Just learn Flask
• Just learn Django
• Just learn insert here
• Just use Falcon

Falcon?

Design PhilosoPy

Falcon tries to do as little as possible while remaining highly effective.

• Routes based on URI templates RFC

• REST-inspired mapping of URIs to resources

• Global, resource, and method hooks

• Idiomatic HTTP error responses

• Full Unicode support

• Intuitive request and response objects

• Works great with async libraries like gevent

• Minimal attack surface for writing secure APIs

• 100% code coverage with a comprehensive test suite

• Only depends on six and mimeparse

• Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 + PyPy
