Flaxon v0.1.0 — Alpha Release

After months of development, we are thrilled to announce the first public release of Flaxon — version 0.1.0 Alpha.

Flaxon is a technology-neutral, async-first Python backend framework that combines Flask-like ease with production-grade features. This release marks a major milestone in our mission to provide developers with a framework that is simple to start, powerful to scale, and completely free in terms of technology choice.

What's Included

Flaxon 0.1.0 comes packed with features to help you build modern Python applications:

• Async-first ASGI architecture — Built for high-concurrency I/O workloads with Python's asyncio.
• Flask-style route decorators — Familiar and intuitive syntax that Python developers already know and love.
• Optional modular structure — Start simple, scale to large applications with routers, services, and repositories.
• Request validation — Declarative schemas with automatic 422 responses.
• WebSocket support — Real-time communication with room broadcasting built-in.
• Jinax templates — Optional Jinja2 integration for server-side HTML rendering.
• Middleware stack — CORS, request IDs, security headers, and rate limiting.
• Readable debugger — Explains failures in plain language with request context.
• Technology neutral — Use any frontend, database, ORM, or client.
• CLI tools — Run, inspect, doctor, and generate projects.
• Testing utilities — Sync and async test clients.
