**Joyful Python Web App development**
Appier is an object-oriented Python web framework built for super-fast app development.
It's as lightweight as possible, but not too lightweight.
It gives you the power of bigger frameworks, without their complexity.
Your first app can be just a few lines long:
```python
import appier
class HelloApp(appier.App):
@appier.route("/", "GET")
def hello(self):
return "Hello World"
HelloApp().serve()
```
The same app using the async/await syntax (Python 3.5+) for async execution reads pretty much the same:
```python
import appier
class HelloApp(appier.App):
@appier.route("/", "GET")
async def hello(self):
await self.send("Hello World")
HelloApp().serve()
```
Running it is just as simple:
```bash
pip install appier
python hello.py
```
For the async version an [ASGI](https://asgi.readthedocs.io) compliant server should be used (eg: [Uvicorn](https://www.uvicorn.org)):
```bash
SERVER=uvicorn python hello.py
```
Your "Hello World" app is now running at [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080).
It features the following:
* Object-oriented
* [WSGI](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/) (Web Server Gateway Interface) compliant
* [ASGI](https://asgi.readthedocs.io) (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface) ready
* Modular, using dynamically loaded parts
* Python 3 compatible
* RESTful request dispatching
* Asynchronous request handling support
* Templating, using [Jinja2](http://jinja.pocoo.org/)
* Data model layer, currently supports [MongoDB](http://www.mongodb.org/) and [TinyDB](http://tinydb.readthedocs.org/)
* Automatic JSON response encoding for fast API development
* Automatic admin interface, using [Appier Extras](http://appier-extras.hive.pt/)
* Internationalization (i18n) support
* Flexible project configuration
* Out-of-the-box support for multiple [WSGI](https://wsgi.readthedocs.io/) and [ASGI](https://asgi.readthedocs.io/) servers: [Netius](https://netius.hive.pt), [Uvicorn](https://www.uvicorn.org), [Hypercorn](https://pgjones.gitlab.io/hypercorn), [Daphne](https://github.com/django/daphne), etc.
For the purposes of rapid web development, Appier goes well with [Netius](http://netius.hive.pt)
(web-server) and [UXF](http://uxf.hive.pt) (client-side graphical library) as a whole stack.
