(Original )Information
What do you like best about Bottle?

Bottle is a very fast and very simple framework. All you need is Python to get started. Bottle also has built in template engines. There is also a lot of documentation available for Bottle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bottle?

It lacks features. Its simplicity makes it far less competitive than frameworks like Flask. Bottle needs to be made extendable. I really hate the one file approach, so I guess I am biased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bottle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Perfect if all you need is a web API. Not great if you need more than that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bottle?

It's pretty simple and not much learning curve anyone who knows basic Python and has a bit of experience with writing backend can quickly write an API server in some minutes. It's bare-metal, not bulky, and filled with plugins, just simple servers. You can add your plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bottle?

It's a fundamental framework, and you won't find much community around this. It's very similar to the flask, and you can use flask instead witan excellent community support and plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bottle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems are the same writing fast backend for a prototype application or anything else. You can use the bottle for your internal applications without requiring many configurations. The benefit of the bottle is its very light weight and easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bottle?

Bottle is a simple, fast and light web-framework that you can easy download and install. I have mainly use Bottle for the development of APIs and what I like the most about it is that you can easily create routes, templates and request methods; its documentation is also great and you can find almost everything you need. You can integrate other libraries to Bottle without any trouble, for example, you can add a database connection library to search records and show via get o manipulate these records via post. Works in both Python 2.5+ and 3.x. Bottle is also very useful because you can make a restful API with small memory consumption. Bottle can also merge files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bottle?

The only thing I don't like about Bottle is that it has a really small community, despite that fact, the documentation helps a lot in the development with this framework and you can find help in internet forums and websites like Stack Overflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bottle:

I highly recommend Bottle as a web developer, if you are considering to create an API or prototype your ideas, in the easy and quickler way, being lighter than other frameworks like Django. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
