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.

HTTP 1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 13
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Hello, world.

What we see is the following:

  • The first line contains the HTTP protocol used, a status code, and a status description.
  • Response headers are in the key: value format and are separated by a line break.
  • There is a blank row.
  • There is a response body.

We are not looking at this here because we need to know to build a web application. After all, building these response objects to a valid HTTP specification is precisely one of the reasons that we use web frameworks. Without them, building these blobs would be tedious and error-prone. Instead, it is helpful...
