description Masonite Overview
Masonite is an open-source web application framework for Python. It presents a full-stack, developer-oriented approach with conventions and tools for building web applications, and its design is often compared with frameworks such as Laravel because of its emphasis on an integrated development experience. Masonite is intended for Python developers who want more built-in structure than a minimal web toolkit provides. The name refers to the software framework, not Masonite fiberboard, a separate manufactured building material.
