Falcon API Framework

Falcon is a minimal, high-performance Python web framework designed for building REST APIs and microservices. Unlike Django (batteries-included) or Flask (micro but not optimized), Falcon is explicitly designed for speed: minimal overhead, smart dispatch, and zero-copy responses. A Falcon API can handle 10x more requests per second than equivalent Flask code. Falcon emphasizes simplicity: classes (resources), methods (HTTP verbs), middleware, and that's it. No ORM, no template engine, no session management—you wire in what you need.
