Quart is a Python web microframework based on Asyncio. It is intended to provide the easiest way to use asyncio in a web context, especially with existing Flask apps. It has the same API as Flask.
Quart aims to be a complete web microframework, as it supports HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and websockets. Quart is very extendable and has a number of known extensions and works with many of the Flask extensions.
Quart is free and open source software.

- Supports the full ASGI 3.0 specification as well as the websocket response and HTTP/2 server push extensions. Quart extends the Flask-API by adding support for:
- HTTP/1.1 request streaming.
- Websockets.
- HTTP/2 server push.
- Evolution of the Flask API to work with Asyncio.
