The ultra-reliable, fast ASGI+WSGI framework for building data plane APIs at scale.
|Build Status| |Docs| |codecov.io| |Blue|
Falcon <https://falconframework.org>__ is a minimalist ASGI/WSGI framework for
building mission-critical REST APIs and microservices, with a focus on
reliability, correctness, and performance at scale.
When it comes to building HTTP APIs, other frameworks weigh you down with tons of dependencies and unnecessary abstractions. Falcon cuts to the chase with a clean design that embraces HTTP and the REST architectural style.
Falcon apps work with any WSGI <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3333/>_
or ASGI <https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>_ server, and run like a
champ under CPython 3.5+ and PyPy 3.5+ (3.6+ required for ASGI).

"We have been using Falcon as a replacement for [another framework] and we simply love the performance (three times faster) and code base size (easily half of our [original] code)."
"I'm loving #falconframework! Super clean and simple, I finally have the speed and flexibility I need!"
"Falcon looks great so far. I hacked together a quick test for a tiny server of mine and was ~40% faster with only 20 minutes of work."
"I feel like I'm just talking HTTP at last, with nothing in the middle. Falcon seems like the requests of backend."
"The source code for Falcon is so good, I almost prefer it to documentation. It basically can't be wrong."
"What other framework has integrated support for 786 TRY IT NOW ?"
Falcon tries to do as little as possible while remaining highly effective.

*- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry*
We designed Falcon to support the demanding needs of large-scale microservices and responsive app backends. Falcon complements more general Python web frameworks by providing bare-metal performance, reliability, and flexibility wherever you need it.
Reliable. We go to great lengths to avoid introducing breaking changes, and
when we do they are fully documented and only introduced (in the spirit of
SemVer <http://semver.org/>_) with a major version increment. The code is
rigorously tested with numerous inputs and we require 100% coverage at all
times. Falcon has no dependencies outside the standard library, helping
minimize your app's attack surface while avoiding transitive bugs and breaking
changes.
Debuggable. Falcon eschews magic. It's easy to tell which inputs lead to which outputs. Unhandled exceptions are never encapsulated or masked. Potentially surprising behaviors, such as automatic request body parsing, are well-documented and disabled by default. Finally, when it comes to the framework itself, we take care to keep logic paths simple and understandable. All this makes it easier to reason about the code and to debug edge cases in large-scale deployments.
Fast. Same hardware, more requests. Falcon turns around requests
significantly faster than other popular Python frameworks like Django and
Flask. For an extra speed boost, Falcon compiles itself with Cython when
available, and also works well with PyPy <https://pypy.org>_. Considering a
move to another programming language? Benchmark with Falcon+PyPy first!
Flexible. Falcon leaves a lot of decisions and implementation details to
you, the API developer. This gives you a lot of freedom to customize and tune
your implementation. It also helps you understand your apps at a deeper level,
making them easier to tune, debug, and refactor over the long run. Falcon's
minimalist design provides space for Python community members to independently
innovate on Falcon add-ons and complementary packages <https://github.com/falconry/falcon/wiki>_.
Falcon is used around the world by a growing number of organizations, including:
If you are using the Falcon framework for a community or commercial
project, please consider adding your information to our wiki under
Who's Using Falcon? <https://github.com/falconry/falcon/wiki/Who's-using-Falcon%3F>_
A number of Falcon add-ons, templates, and complementary packages are
available for use in your projects. We've listed several of these on the
Falcon wiki <https://github.com/falconry/falcon/wiki>_ as a starting
point, but you may also wish to search PyPI for additional resources.
The Falconry community on Gitter is a great place to ask questions and
share your ideas. You can find us in falconry/user <https://gitter.im/falconry/user>. We also have a
falconry/dev <https://gitter.im/falconry/dev> room for discussing
the design and development of the framework itself.
Per our
Code of Conduct <https://github.com/falconry/falcon/blob/master/CODEOFCONDUCT.md>_,
we expect everyone who participates in community discussions to act
professionally, and lead by example in encouraging constructive
discussions. Each individual in the community is responsible for
creating a positive, constructive, and productive culture.
PyPy ^^^^
PyPy <http://pypy.org/>__ is the fastest way to run your Falcon app.
PyPy3.5+ is supported as of PyPy v5.10.
.. code:: bash
$ pip install falcon
Or, to install the latest beta or release candidate, if any:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install --pre falcon
CPython ^^^^^^^
Falcon also fully supports
CPython <https://www.python.org/downloads/>__ 3.5+.
The latest stable version of Falcon can be installed directly from PyPI:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install falcon
Or, to install the latest beta or release candidate, if any:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install --pre falcon
In order to provide an extra speed boost, Falcon can compile itself with Cython. Wheels containing pre-compiled binaries are available from PyPI for several common platforms. However, if a wheel for your platform of choice is not available, you can install the source distribution. The installation process will automatically try to cythonize Falcon for your environment, falling back to a normal pure-Python install if any issues are encountered during the cythonization step:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install --no-binary :all: falcon
If you want to verify that Cython is being invoked, simply
pass the verbose flag -v to pip in order to echo the compilation commands.
The cythonization step is only active when using the CPython Python
implementation, so installing using PyPy will skip it.
If you want to skip Cython compilation step and install
the pure-Python version directly you can set the environment variable
FALCON_DISABLE_CYTHON to a non empty value before install:
.. code:: bash
$ FALCON_DISABLE_CYTHON=Y pip install -v --no-binary :all: falcon
Please note that pip>=10 is required to be able to install Falcon from
source.
Installing on OS X
Xcode Command Line Tools are required to compile Cython. Install them with this command:
.. code:: bash
$ xcode-select --install
The Clang compiler treats unrecognized command-line options as errors, for example:
.. code:: bash
clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd' [-Wunused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future]
You might also see warnings about unused functions. You can work around these issues by setting additional Clang C compiler flags as follows:
.. code:: bash
$ export CFLAGS="-Qunused-arguments -Wno-unused-function"
Dependencies ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Falcon does not require the installation of any other packages, although if Cython has been installed into the environment, it will be used to optimize the framework as explained above.
Falcon speaks WSGI <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3333/>_ (or
ASGI <https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>_; see also below). In order to
serve a Falcon app, you will need a WSGI server. Gunicorn and uWSGI are some of
the more popular ones out there, but anything that can load a WSGI app will do.
.. code:: bash
$ pip install [gunicorn|uwsgi]
In order to serve a Falcon ASGI app, you will need an ASGI server. Uvicorn is a popular choice:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install uvicorn
Falcon lives on GitHub <https://github.com/falconry/falcon>_, making the
code easy to browse, download, fork, etc. Pull requests are always welcome! Also,
please remember to star the project if it makes you happy. :)
Once you have cloned the repo or downloaded a tarball from GitHub, you can install Falcon like this:
.. code:: bash
$ cd falcon
$ pip install .
Or, if you want to edit the code, first fork the main repo, clone the fork to your desktop, and then run the following to install it using symbolic linking, so that when you change your code, the changes will be automagically available to your app without having to reinstall the package:
.. code:: bash
$ cd falcon
$ pip install -e .
You can manually test changes to the Falcon framework by switching to the directory of the cloned repo and then running pytest:
.. code:: bash
$ cd falcon
$ pip install -r requirements/tests
$ pytest tests
Or, to run the default set of tests:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install tox && tox
See also the tox.ini <https://github.com/falconry/falcon/blob/master/tox.ini>_
file for a full list of available environments.
The docstrings in the Falcon code base are quite extensive, and we recommend keeping a REPL running while learning the framework so that you can query the various modules and classes as you have questions.
Online docs are available at: https://falcon.readthedocs.io
You can build the same docs locally as follows:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install tox && tox -e docs
Once the docs have been built, you can view them by opening the following index page in your browser. On OS X it's as simple as::
$ open docs/_build/html/index.html
Or on Linux:
.. code:: bash
$ xdg-open docs/_build/html/index.html
Here is a simple, contrived example showing how to create a Falcon-based WSGI app (the ASGI version is included further down):
.. code:: python
# examples/things.py
# Let's get this party started!
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
import falcon
# Falcon follows the REST architectural style, meaning (among
# other things) that you think in terms of resources and state
# transitions, which map to HTTP verbs.
class ThingsResource:
def on_get(self, req, resp):
"""Handles GET requests"""
resp.status = falcon.HTTP_200 # This is the default status
resp.content_type = falcon.MEDIA_TEXT # Default is JSON, so override
resp.text = ('\nTwo things awe me most, the starry sky '
'above me and the moral law within me.\n'
'\n'
' ~ Immanuel Kant\n\n')
# falcon.App instances are callable WSGI apps...
# in larger applications the app is created in a separate file
app = falcon.App()
# Resources are represented by long-lived class instances
things = ThingsResource()
# things will handle all requests to the '/things' URL path
app.add_route('/things', things)
if __name__ == '__main__':
with make_server('', 8000, app) as httpd:
print('Serving on port 8000...')
# Serve until process is killed
httpd.serve_forever()
You can run the above example directly using the included wsgiref server:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install falcon
$ python things.py
Then, in another terminal:
.. code:: bash
$ curl localhost:8000/things
The ASGI version of the example is similar:
.. code:: python
# examples/things_asgi.py
import falcon
import falcon.asgi
# Falcon follows the REST architectural style, meaning (among
# other things) that you think in terms of resources and state
# transitions, which map to HTTP verbs.
class ThingsResource:
async def on_get(self, req, resp):
"""Handles GET requests"""
resp.status = falcon.HTTP_200 # This is the default status
resp.content_type = falcon.MEDIA_TEXT # Default is JSON, so override
resp.text = ('\nTwo things awe me most, the starry sky '
'above me and the moral law within me.\n'
'\n'
' ~ Immanuel Kant\n\n')
# falcon.asgi.App instances are callable ASGI apps...
# in larger applications the app is created in a separate file
app = falcon.asgi.App()
# Resources are represented by long-lived class instances
things = ThingsResource()
# things will handle all requests to the '/things' URL path
app.add_route('/things', things)
You can run the ASGI version with uvicorn or any other ASGI server:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install falcon uvicorn
$ uvicorn things_asgi:app
Here is a more involved example that demonstrates reading headers and query
parameters, handling errors, and working with request and response bodies.
Note that this example assumes that the
requests <https://pypi.org/project/requests/>_ package has been installed.
(For the equivalent ASGI app, see: A More Complex Example (ASGI)_).

Again this code uses wsgiref, but you can also run the above example using any WSGI server, such as uWSGI or Gunicorn. For example:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install requests gunicorn
$ gunicorn things:app
On Windows you can run Gunicorn and uWSGI via WSL, or you might try Waitress:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install requests waitress
$ waitress-serve --port=8000 things:app
To test this example, open another terminal and run:
.. code:: bash
$ http localhost:8000/1/things authorization:custom-token
You can also view the application configuration from the CLI via the
falcon-inspect-app script that is bundled with the framework:
.. code:: bash
falcon-inspect-app things_advanced:app
Here's the ASGI version of the app from above. Note that it uses the
httpx <https://pypi.org/project/httpx/>_ package in lieu of
requests <https://pypi.org/project/requests/>_.
