Flask-MongoRest
A RESTful API framework for Flask that integrates with MongoEngine to simplify MongoDB-backed API development.
What is Flask-MongoRest?
Flask-MongoRest is a RESTful API framework designed for Flask applications that use MongoEngine as their Object-Document Mapper (ODM). It provides tools to quickly build APIs for MongoDB data models, handling serialization, filtering, and authentication with minimal configuration. The framework simplifies creating CRUD endpoints and managing relationships between documents.
Python developers building RESTful APIs with Flask and MongoDB who want to reduce boilerplate code and leverage MongoEngine's document modeling. It's suitable for backend engineers creating data-driven web services or internal tools.
Developers choose Flask-MongoRest for its tight integration with MongoEngine, allowing them to define API resources directly from document models. It offers built-in filtering, pagination, and authentication extensibility, making it faster to deploy production-ready APIs compared to building from scratch.
