aiohttp
An asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python
Product Information
- Description
- Aiohttp is a comprehensive asynchronous HTTP framework built specifically for Python's asyncio ecosystem, enabling developers to create high-performance web servers and clients that handle thousands of concurrent connections efficiently. Its core architecture leverages non-blocking I/O operations to process multiple requests simultaneously without thread overhead, making it ideal for real-time applications, microservices, and API gateways requiring high throughput. Key features include WebSocket support for bidirectional communication, middleware capabilities for request/response processing, session management with cookie persistence, and seamless integration with other asyncio libraries. The framework's type checking enhancements provide improved developer experience through better IDE support and runtime validation, reducing errors in complex HTTP interactions. Common use cases range from building scalable REST APIs and proxy servers to implementing data streaming services and IoT communication hubs where low latency and resource efficiency are critical.
