Django vs. FastAPI vs. Flask vs. Sanic: Which Python Framework Should You Choose for Your APIs?
In the Python web development landscape, when it comes to APIs, we often find ourselves at a crossroads: choose an "all-in-one" framework, such as those based on Django, or opt for lightweight and minimalist solutions like FastAPI, Flask, or Sanic. But what are the real differences between these worlds? And above all, how do you know which path is best for your project? This article aims to clarify these questions, comparing the four main Django-based alternatives— such as Django REST Framework, Django Ninja, and GraphQL—with the leaner and more modern frameworks, which have won over many developers thanks to their lightweight and flexibility. Whether you're a Django expert curious to explore new options, or a developer looking for leaner and more high-performance solutions, here you'll find a detailed overview and comparison that will help you navigate the sea of available choices. Using simple language and many practical examples, I'll guide you step by step on this journey to discover the architectures, performance, ecosystems, and use cases of each technology.
