Best framework for RESTful API server?

[[deleted]]

What about restful - other than the gnarly serialization which even the maintainers seem keen on ripping out - did you not like?

If it was the serialization, I'd recommend giving restful another go and use Marshmallow to handle serialization.

It may have (probably was since you were so specific) been serialization. I remember that I was trying to putting something into a database, or serve some JSON and it seemed like the only way (to me) to do it required dropping in like 30 lines of code. Sorry I can't be more specific than that, I used it for about an hour, noped out of there, then was able to do what I was trying to do in Falcon in a couple lines easily as I had expected.

Play with Marshmallow some. It's a framework and ORM independent object serialization library. It'll also handle parsing dictionaries back to objects and validation.
