## What it is
Flask-RESTPlus is a Flask extension for quickly building REST APIs with automatic Swagger/OpenAPI documentation. The project is officially unmaintained and has been forked to Flask-RESTX.

## Use cases
- build rest apis with flask
- auto-generate swagger docs for flask endpoints
- create documented  api in python
- add request parsing and marshalling to flask routes
- serve openapi spec from flask app

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy codebase already built on flask-restplus
- pinned to an old environment where flask-restx is unavailable

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - use the flask-restx fork instead
- you need bug fixes or new python/flask version support
- you need actively maintained swagger tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: api-framework, web-framework, api-documentation, serialization
- domain: web-development, backend, apis, documentation
- platform: python
- tags: flask, rest, swagger, openapi, unmaintained, use-flask-restx-instead
