Express vs. Falcon vs. FastAPI vs. hapi Comparison Chart

Falcon is a blazing fast, minimalist Python web API framework for building robust app backends and microservices. The framework works great with both asyncio (ASGI) and gevent/meinheld (WSGI). The Falcon web framework encourages the REST architectural style. Resource classes implement HTTP method handlers that resolve requests and perform state transitions. Falcon complements more general Python web frameworks by providing extra reliability, flexibility, and performance wherever you need it. A number of Falcon add-ons, templates, and complementary packages are available for use in your projects. We've listed several of these on the Falcon wiki as a starting point, but you may also wish to search PyPI for additional resources.

Build powerful, scalable applications, with minimal overhead and full out-of-the-box functionality, your code, your way. Developed initially to handle Walmart’s Black Friday sales, hapi continues to be the proven choice for enterprise-grade backend needs. When you install hapi, every single line of code you get has been verified. You never have to worry about some deep dependency being poorly maintained (or handed over to someone sketchy). hapi is the only leading node framework without any external code dependencies. hapi requires the most secure settings to manage, control, and distribute code, including 2FA for all contributors. Every hapi component comes with the most secure defaults out of the box. Along with protecting server load with payload limits and request timeouts, hapi blocks error messages that could leak information or echo back exploits. The most comprehensive authorization and authentication API available in a Node framework.
