connexion
A Python web framework for spec-first API development, automatically handling routing, validation, and serialization from OpenAPI specifications.
What is connexion?
Connexion is a Python web framework that enables spec-first API development. It allows developers to define their API using OpenAPI specifications, then automatically handles routing, validation, serialization, and documentation. This ensures the API behaves exactly as specified, separating design from implementation logic.
Python developers building RESTful APIs who want to adopt a spec-first or API-first development approach, especially teams needing consistent API documentation and validation.
Developers choose Connexion because it automates the boilerplate of API implementation based on OpenAPI specs, reducing errors and ensuring the API matches its documentation. Its flexibility to work standalone or as middleware with existing frameworks like Flask makes it adaptable to various project needs.
Overview
Connexion is a modern Python web framework that makes spec-first and api-first development easy.
