Overview of this book

Today’s developers need something more powerful and customizable when it comes to web app development. They require effective tools to build something unique to meet their specific needs, and not simply glue a bunch of things together built by others. This is where Sanic comes into the picture. Built to be unopinionated and scalable, Sanic is a next-generation Python framework and server tuned for high performance. This Sanic guide starts by helping you understand Sanic’s purpose, significance, and use cases. You’ll learn how to spot different issues when building web applications, and how to choose, create, and adapt the right solution to meet your requirements. As you progress, you’ll understand how to use listeners, middleware, and background tasks to customize your application. The book will also take you through real-world examples, so you will walk away with practical knowledge and not just code snippets. By the end of this web development book, you’ll have gained the knowledge you need to design, build, and deploy high-performance, scalable, and maintainable web applications with the Sanic framework.

Chapter 3: Routing and Intaking HTTP Requests

Back in Chapter 1, Introduction to Sanic and Async Frameworks, we looked at a raw HTTP request to see what kind of information it includes. In this chapter, we are going to take a closer look at the first line, which contains the HTTP method and the URI path. As we learned, the most basic function of a web framework is to translate a raw HTTP request into an actionable handler. Before we see how we can implement this, it is good to keep in mind what raw requests look like:

POST /path/to/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:7777
User-Agent: curl/7.76.1
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 14
Content-Type: application/json
{"foo": "bar"}

Looking at the request, we see the following:

  • The first line (sometimes called the start line) contains three parts: the HTTP method, request target, and HTTP protocol.
  • The second section contains zero or more lines of HTTP headers in key: value form, with each pair separated by...
