# The webapp Framework

The webapp framework is a simple web application framework you can use for developing Python web applications for App Engine. webapp is compatible with the WSGI standard for Python web application containers. webapp provides an easy way to get started developing apps for App Engine.

You don't have to use webapp to write Python applications for App Engine. Other web application frameworks, such as Django, work with App Engine, and App Engine supports any Python code that uses the CGI standard.
