Eve is an open-source Python REST API framework built on Flask that lets you build fully featured, customizable RESTful web services with minimal configuration. It provides native MongoDB support (with SQL via community extensions) plus built-in validation, authentication, versioning, pagination, HATEOAS, and rate limiting.

Use cases

• build a REST API from a MongoDB database
• expose CRUD endpoints with minimal code
• create a RESTful web service with HATEOAS and pagination
• add authentication and rate limiting to a Python API
• serve JSON and XML APIs with filtering and sorting
• version a REST API and its documents

When to choose

• you want a batteries-included REST API over MongoDB or SQL with little boilerplate
• you need built-in validation, HATEOAS, API versioning, and CORS out of the box
• you prefer configuring endpoints via a settings file rather than writing routing code

When to avoid

• you need a modern async framework or non-Flask stack
• you want fine-grained manual control over routing and serialization
• you're building GraphQL or non-REST APIs
