## What it is
Supporting example code for Miguel Grinberg's articles on video streaming with Flask. It demonstrates serving live video (e.g., from a camera) to browsers using Flask's streaming generator responses.

## Use cases
- stream live camera video to a web browser with flask
- learn how flask streaming responses work
- serve multipart/x-mixed-replace video in python
- build a simple security camera streaming server
- understand generator-based responses in flask

## When to choose
- you want to learn flask streaming via a worked example
- you need a minimal python video streaming server to adapt
- you're following the accompanying blog articles

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade streaming server with adaptive bitrate or HLS/DASH
- you use a framework other than flask
- you need maintained, feature-complete video streaming infrastructure

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-server, video-processing, web-framework
- domain: web-development, media, tutorials
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: flask, video-streaming, streaming-responses, example-code, multipart-response, web-server
