The App Class

Falcon supports both the WSGI (:class:falcon.App) and ASGI (:class:falcon.asgi.App) protocols. This is done by instantiating the respective App class to create a callable WSGI or ASGI "application".

Because Falcon's App classes are built on WSGI <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3333/>_ and ASGI <https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>_, you can host them with any standard-compliant server.

.. code:: python

import falcon
import falcon.asgi

wsgi_app = falcon.App()
asgi_app = falcon.asgi.App()
