You define your API structure using decorators like @ns.route(), @ns.expect(), and @ns.marshal_with(), and the framework handles both request validation and OpenAPI spec generation.\n\nThe package has no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install. However, it has been abandoned since 2019-08-12 with no active maintenance, meaning it will not receive updates for compatibility with newer Flask or Python versions. The last release (0.13.0) targets Python 2.7 or 3.4+, and the codebase is frozen at a point when Flask and the broader ecosystem were significantly different.","worth_installing":"No. Flask-RESTPlus is abandoned and has not been maintained since 2019-08-12. While it has no known vulnerabilities and low install friction, the lack of updates means it will not work reliably with modern Flask versions or recent Python releases. Consider an actively maintained alternative."},"id":"flask-restplus","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-restplus","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-restplus.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flask-restplus/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-08-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"flask-restplus","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Fully featured framework for fast, easy and documented API development with Flask"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":110587,"position":12451,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.13.0"}
