# Flask Restful Api

## Overview
Flask-RESTful is an extension for Flask that adds support for quickly building REST APIs.

## When to Use This Skill
Use to build multi-endpoint, structured web interfaces with clean Python class routing.

## Quick Start (with runnable code examples)

```python
from flask import Flask
from flask_restful import Resource, Api

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

class HelloWorld(Resource):
    def get(self):
        return {'hello': 'world'}

api.add_resource(HelloWorld, '/')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)
```

## Advanced Usage
Integrate argument parser (reqparse), custom field marshals, and JWT validation middlewares.
