It was developed for, and is used extensively by, the Python project for documentation. [9] Since its introduction in 2008, Sphinx has been adopted by many other important Python projects, including Bazaar, SQLAlchemy, MayaVi, SageMath, SciPy, Django and Pylons. It is also used for the Blender user manual [10] and Python API documentation. [11]
The Document Object Model (DOM) is a cross-platform and language-independent interface that treats an HTML or XML document as a tree structure wherein each node is an object representing a part of the document. The DOM represents a document with a logical tree. Each branch of the tree ends in a node, and each node contains objects.
[citation needed] It takes its name from the poem Beautiful Soup from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland [5] and is a reference to the term "tag soup" meaning poorly-structured HTML code. [6] Richardson continues to contribute to the project, [7] which is additionally supported by paid open-source maintainers from the company Tidelift. [8]
FastAPI is a high-performance web framework for building HTTP-based service APIs in Python 3.8+. [3] It uses Pydantic and type hints to validate, serialize and deserialize data. FastAPI also automatically generates OpenAPI documentation for APIs built with it. [4] It was first released in 2018.
An example of a popular web API is the Astronomy Picture of the Day API operated by the American space agency NASA. It is a server-side API used to retrieve photographs of space or other images of interest to astronomers, and metadata about the images. According to the API documentation, [15] the API has one endpoint:
In addition, this specification defines objects to be used within threaded web applications for the synchronous reading of files. The File API describes how interactions with files are handled, for reading information about them and their data as well, to be able to upload it. Despite the name, the File API is not part of HTML5.
Pylons Project is an open-source organization that develops a set of web application technologies written in Python.Initially the project was a single web framework called Pylons, but after the merger with the repoze.bfg framework under the new name Pyramid, the Pylons Project now consists of multiple related web application technologies.
An application programming interface (API) is a connection between computers or between computer programs. It is a type of software interface, offering a service to other pieces of software. [1] A document or standard that describes how to build such a connection or interface is called an API specification.
