About

Flask is a lightweight framework for building web applications in Python.

It provides a minimal core that includes URL routing, request/response handling, a built-in development server and debugger, Jinja2 as templating engine, support for RESTful APIs, and the ability to extend functionality via numerous third-party libraries.

Ruby on Rails is a full-stack web application framework that provides the tools needed to build database-driven applications using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.

It emphasizes a standardized project structure and naming, follows DRY ("don't repeat yourself") and "convention over configuration" principles, includes the Active Record ORM for database interaction, a built-in asset pipeline for managing CSS and JavaScript, and an integrated testing framework.
