Definition of the Flask extensions to be used in the SQuaSH REST API

The original implementation of the SQuaSH REST API used Django REST Framework. We decided to reimplement in Flask to be aligned with the technology stack being used in DAX and other projects in SQuaRE.

For the Flask implementation these are the main resources I am using:

• REST APIs with Flask and Python: https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/rest-apis-with/9781788621526/

• Developing RESTful APIs with Python and Flask: https://auth0.com/blog/developing-restful-apis-with-python-and-flask/

• Building RESTful Python Web Services: https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/building-restful-python/9781786462251/ch06s06.html

Still Keep here the Django references in case they are useful in the future/for anyone:
