== Corrections ==

Foornote [3] no longer points to a page with the content it describes. (i.e. the endpoint's content has changed) <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/8.8.38.2|8.8.38.2]] ([[User talk:8.8.38.2|talk]]) 16:42, 15 December 2014 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Zope/WSGI ==

Might be worth mentioning a Zope/WSGI project: http://repoze.org/index.html

== Introduction of WSGI ==

Abbreviation ''WSGI'' is not introduced before its first use.

== Dubious ==

Google App Engine is not on the web application framework side, but on the server side. --[[User:Abdull|Abdull]] ([[User talk:Abdull|talk]]) 13:05, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

:So is [[nginx]]. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/188.25.182.96|188.25.182.96]] ([[User talk:188.25.182.96|talk]]) 13:19, 16 November 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Google App Engine is more like a platform than a framework. You choose GAE which includes WSGI and then you choose other framework to complete your stack eg. GAE + Jinja2 + WTForm where you have one data layer framework (GAE), a template engine (Jinja2 or Django or other) and a form framework such as WTForms or Django. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/213.89.134.0|213.89.134.0]] ([[User talk:213.89.134.0|talk]]) 16:21, 14 December 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Google App Engine is certainly the platform rather than the framework. webapp2 is the default framework for GAE. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Qsy|Qsy]] ([[User talk:Qsy|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Qsy|contribs]]) 12:51, 12 July 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Google App Engine does not belong to this list, webapp2 does. [[User:Insipido|Insipido]] ([[User talk:Insipido|talk]]) 15:51, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

== Lua equivalent ==

I was curious about the Lua equivalent. It's called WSAPI. Don't know if it makes sense to keep those in see also. [[Special:Contributions/31.18.97.13|31.18.97.13]] ([[User talk:31.18.97.13|talk]]) 16:47, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Then say "webapp" or now "webapp2". [[Special:Contributions/99.50.232.87|99.50.232.87]] ([[User talk:99.50.232.87|talk]]) 07:17, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

=== Common name ===

# Is there a common/generic name that `wsgi` and `wsapi` fall under?

# Are these akin to things like [[Common_Gateway_Interface|CGI]] and [[FastCGI]]? (I doubt it)

I'm looking for a group name, I think it would be appropriate to say both wsgi and wsapi fall under some kind of "[[Web Server Interface]]" and "[[List of Web Server Interfaces]]" which could both outline the common role of a Web Server Interface, and list language-bound projected for `wggi` and `wsapi`

: I've never heard of anyone calling these "web server interfaces" anything, including "web server interfaces". So such an article might get removed as a neologism. Perhaps ask on programmers.stackexchange.com or reddits /r/programmers. --[[User:OpenFuture|OpenFuture]] ([[User talk:OpenFuture|talk]]) 07:37, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
