FastAPI vs. MicroPython vs. Rio vs. Slim Framework Comparison Chart

FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. Fast: Very high performance, on par with NodeJS and Go (thanks to Starlette and Pydantic). One of the fastest Python frameworks available. Minimize code duplication, multiple features from each parameter declaration.

Rio is an open source Python framework that enables developers to build modern web and desktop applications entirely in Python. Inspired by frameworks like React and Flutter, Rio introduces a declarative UI model where components are defined as Python data classes with a build() method, allowing for reactive state management and seamless UI updates. It includes over 50 built-in components adhering to Google's Material Design, facilitating the creation of professional-grade interfaces. Rio's layout system is Pythonic and intuitive, calculating each component's natural size before distributing available space, eliminating the need for traditional CSS. Developers can run applications locally or in the browser with the backend powered by FastAPI and communication handled via WebSockets.
