## What it is
Emmett is a full-stack asynchronous Python web framework designed for simplicity, including routing, an ORM, and validation tools. It is production ready, supports Python 3.9+, and is released under the BSD-3-Clause license.

## Use cases
- build async web apis in python
- python web framework with built-in orm
- create rest endpoints with json responses
- build full-stack web apps with asyncio
- simple python framework for postgres-backed apps

## When to choose
- you want a batteries-included async Python web framework with an integrated ORM
- you value simplicity and a gentle learning curve over ecosystem size
- you need ASGI/RSGI-based async request handling

## When to avoid
- you need the massive middleware ecosystem of Django or FastAPI
- your team already standardizes on a mainstream framework
- you require synchronous WSGI deployment models

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, orm, routing, templating, auth
- domain: web-development, backend
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: asgi, asyncio, full-stack, rsgi, orm
