    -Why not Django why Flask.
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleFlask lightweight Python web framework — routes, request/response, templates. MAD1 ka backend yahi hai.

    Example

    from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def home():
    return 'Hello'

    Viva tipFlask micro hai: jo chahiye (DB, login, forms) khud jodte ho.

  5. 5
    -can we fetch data using POST.
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleGET data mangta hai (read), POST data bhejta hai (create/submit).

    GETURL mein dikhta hai, bookmark ho sakta hai, browser back/refresh safe hai, data URL query mein jaata hai. Search, page open, login form dikhana.

    POSTbody mein data jaata hai, URL mein password nahi dikhta, refresh pe dubara submit ho sakta hai. Login, register, form save.

    Example

    # page dikhana

    @app.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def login():
    if request.method == 'GET':
        return render_template('login.html')
    # POST: form submit
    email = request.form.get('email')
    ...

    GET se theoretically data bhej sakte ho (?q=flask), lekin create/update ke liye nahi use karna — data log/history mein save ho jaata hai, length limit hoti hai.
    HTML form default GET hota hai; method='POST' likhna zaroori hai login/register pe.

Advice: Be calm and thorough with your project. Also have the knowledge of MAD1 Theory.
