Developing a web application with Flask

Having prepared the code for classifying movie reviews in the previous subsection, let's discuss the basics of the Flask web framework to develop our web application. Since Armin Ronacher's initial release of Flask in 2010, the framework has gained huge popularity, and examples of popular applications that use Flask include LinkedIn and Pinterest. Since Flask is written in Python, it provides us Python programmers with a convenient interface for embedding existing Python code, such as our movie classifier.

The Flask microframework

Flask is also known as a microframework, which means that its core is kept lean and simple but it can be easily extended with other libraries. Although the learning curve of the lightweight Flask API is not nearly as steep as those of other popular Python web frameworks, such as Django, you are encouraged to take a look at the official Flask documentation at https://flask.palletsprojects...
