# pallets/quart

> Quart is an async Python web application framework for rendering and serving HTML templates, writing RESTful JSON APIs, serving WebSockets and streaming request and response data. It is an asyncio reimplementation of the Flask framework, so code written for Flask maps closely to Quart with async and await added. The project is written in Python.

Save an app.py file, then run it with the quart run command.
    quart run

## How it works

Incoming HTTP and WebSocket traffic enters through src/quart/asgi.py, which provides the ASGI interface that serves a Quart application. src/quart/app.py is an entry point and one of the central files, so it is the main place to look for how the application object is built. Request objects are handled in src/quart/wrappers/request.py, and src/quart/helpers.py holds helper functions used across the package. The quart run command is implemented in src/quart/cli.py, and src/quart/testing/app.py provides support for testing applications.
