It is ASGI-compliant, meaning you can deploy it with alternative ASGI servers if needed. The framework includes 11 runtime dependencies\u2014notably sanic-routing for URL matching, httptools for HTTP parsing, uvloop for faster event loop execution, and ujson for faster JSON serialization\u2014all of which can be toggled off at install time via environment variables if you prefer lighter dependencies.\n\nThe package is actively maintained by the community, with a recent release and an established user base. It targets developers building REST APIs, microservices, and real-time applications where request latency and throughput matter. The learning curve is shallow for anyone familiar with Flask or FastAPI, and the async-first design makes it natural to integrate with other async libraries.","worth_installing":"Yes. Sanic is a solid choice for async Python web development. It has low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and a clear performance focus backed by a community-maintained project. Install it if you need an async web framework for Python 3.10+ and are comfortable with the 11 runtime dependencies\u2014or if you want to exclude uvloop and ujson, set the environment variables at install time."},"id":"sanic","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sanic","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sanic.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sanic/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-31","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sanic","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A web server and web framework that's written to go fast.
