Encode is dedicated to pushing forward the Python web ecosystem.

Working alongside others in the community we've authored and released to the public domain key parts of the Python ecosystem, including...

  • Django REST framework - A world-leading API framework for Django, used by internationally recognised businesses worldwide.
  • HTTPX - Pushing forward Python's HTTP capabilities, with a fully featured HTTP client offering both sync and async APIs, with HTTP/1.1 & HTTP/2 support.
  • Uvicorn, Starlette. - Building out the core components of the Python async web ecosystem, including FastAPI.
  • MkDocs - Used by the fantastic Material for MkDocs.

We're currently cooking up something fresh for 2025, which we'll be open-sourcing soon. Watch this space.
