Benchmarking programming languages and web frameworks

Flask (Python)

Flask is a lightweight and flexible Python web framework for creating web applications. It is designed as a simple core that is easily extendable through numerous extensions for form validation, upload handling, and authentication technologies. Flask follows the "micro-framework" philosophy that gives developers more control over component choices.
This benchmark tests how fast a framework can perform concurrent HTTP requests, I/O operations, and JSON de/serialization.
