Flask-RESTX is a community driven fork of Flask-RESTPlus <https://github.com/noirbizarre/flask-restplus>
_.
Flask-RESTX is an extension for Flask
_ that adds support for quickly building REST APIs.
Flask-RESTX encourages best practices with minimal setup.
If you are familiar with Flask, Flask-RESTX should be easy to pick up.
It provides a coherent collection of decorators and tools to describe your API
and expose its documentation properly using Swagger
_.
Flask-RESTX requires Python 3.8+.
Flask and Werkzeug moved to versions 2.0 in March 2020. This caused a breaking change in Flask-RESTX.

You can install Flask-RESTX with pip:
.. code-block:: console
$ pip install flask-restx
or with easy_install:
.. code-block:: console
$ easy_install flask-restx
With Flask-RESTX, you only import the api instance to route and document your endpoints.
.. code-block:: python

})
