- Application
- a WSGI application
- Application manager
- Manager for the application. Provides routing and supports middleware. Implemented by tool.application.ApplicationManager.
- CLI
- Command Line Interface. Implemented by tool.cli.
- Middleware
- ordinary WSGI middleware. It doesn’t matter whether you wrap the application into the middleware using the application manager or not. However, introspection is much easier if you use the manager.
- Routing
- the process of finding the right callable for given request. The callable is then returned by the application. Tool uses Werkzeug for routing.
