# Litestar Benchmarking Test

This is the Litestar portion of a [benchmarking tests suite](../../)
comparing a variety of web development platforms.

The information below is specific to Litestar. For further guidance,
review the [documentation](https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/wiki).
Also note that there is additional information provided in
the [Python README](../).

## Description

[**Litestar**](https://github.com/litestar-org/litestar) is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+.

The key features are:

* **Fast**: Very high performance, on par with **NodeJS** and **Go**.

* **Fast to code**: Increase the speed to develop features by about 200% to 300% *.
* **Less bugs**: Reduce about 40% of human (developer) induced errors. *
* **Intuitive**: Great editor support. <abbr title="also known as auto-complete, autocompletion, IntelliSense">Completion</abbr> everywhere. Less time debugging.
* **Easy**: Designed to be easy to use and learn. Less time reading docs.
* **Short**: Minimize code duplication. Multiple features from each parameter declaration. Less bugs.
* **Robust**: Get production-ready code. With automatic interactive documentation.
* **Standards-based**: Based on (and fully compatible with) the open standards for APIs: <a href="https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification" target="_blank">OpenAPI</a> and <a href="http://json-schema.org/" target="_blank">JSON Schema</a>.
