Asked what if __name__ == "__main__": means in app.py.

Times asked 1
Official solution

Simple
```
if __name__=='__main__' only when file run directly. Import pe nahi — app.run yahi. Remove import pe server start ho sakta.
```
Celery/tests import app without serving. Why used.
Flask Python micro web framework. Route decorator URL → function. MAD2 mein JSON API: request.get_json(), jsonify, JWT.
WSGI: server (Werkzeug) app ko call. if __name__ == '__main__' sirf direct run. Factory create_app() test/celery ke liye.
Blueprint/resources folders. @app.route vs MethodView. Debug=True viva local, prod nahi. CORS alag port Vue ke liye.
Project example: app.py bottom.

Advice: Very chill proctor. Be confident while answering. He helps if you get stuck anywhere. Be ready to explain basic project setup, venv, and key code lines from app.py and models.py. Be prepared for small live changes in the UI during the viva.
