## What it is
Quart is an async Python web application framework that reimplements Flask's API on top of asyncio and ASGI. It supports HTML templating, JSON APIs, WebSockets, and request/response streaming.

## Use cases
- build an async REST API in Python
- serve websockets from a Flask-like app
- migrate a Flask app to asyncio
- render Jinja HTML templates with async views
- stream request and response data over HTTP
- build a small async web service with Flask's API

## When to choose
- you know Flask and want async/await support
- you need WebSockets alongside HTTP routes
- you want a lightweight ASGI micro framework with Flask compatibility
- you want to reuse Flask extensions in an async app

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured framework with built-in ORM, auth, and admin
- you want a sync framework or minimal asyncio overhead
- your project depends on Flask extensions incompatible with async
- you prefer Django-style batteries-included development

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: stable
- function: web-framework, http-server, websocket, templating, routing, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: asgi, asyncio, flask-compatible, micro-framework, jinja2, web-server
