About The Project

NOTE: for obvious reasons, it will not be exactly the same (maybe because of language resctrictions or because it is not implemented).

Theres a lot of people that work with express.js and they whant to change to python for many diferent reasons. That is why Expross it created. To give web development from express.js users a nice and clean introduction to web development in python.

Here's why:

• Function names are very similar to express.js
• It is faster than other web frameworks
• Secure and continuesly maintained 😄

Of course, this is not a perfect project but. We have shown people with no idea of web development for python how to use this framework. They said it is the most easy framework to learn because it's similarities with express.js
