"An Easy to use Python Framework"

4/5

What do you like best about Bottle?

Bottle is an excellent web microframework that allows anyone to create web applications from scratch without the "heaviness" of Django.

Bottle is very lightweight in terms of storage and execution. You can create applications in a breeze without the complexity of setting up your development environment just to start working on it.

As with most Python packages, it works perfectly well when combined with virtualenv to separate system dependencies and project dependencies. Bottle's portability is prominent as well when combined with Docker for development and production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bottle?

Being a microframework, Bottle is not able to provide out-of-the-box solutions such as user authentication and database ORM.

Bottle is excellent at being lightweight but being lightweight also means that certain features are discarded just to keep it lightweight.

As mentioned earlier, Bottle does not have user authentication out-of-the-box which is a bummer for those willing to use Bottle for a web app that has users. This, however, can be solved by implementing your own user authentication system for your application.

Another good thing about Bottle is that it does not force you follow a project structure. You have the freedom to structure your project any way you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bottle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bottle is an excellent microframework that allowed us to create a RESTful JSON API for our projects.

Bottle is structured to be a simple to use microframework that allows us to easily create an API that is structured using the MVC (model-view-controller) design pattern quickly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
