Add spikard to Web Frameworks

[Goldziher]

Add spikard

Category: Web Frameworks → Asynchronous

Single project, per the one-project-per-PR guideline.

Why it qualifies:

• 105+ GitHub stars, MIT-licensed, and actively maintained (commits within the last few days).
• Production-ready release on PyPI with a clear README containing installation and usage examples.
• Distinct value: A non-ASGI web framework — a different architecture from every framework currently listed, which are ASGI-based (Litestar, Starlette) — built on an ultra-fast Rust core with type-safe routing.

It is a Python-first library (installable from PyPI) with a Rust core for performance — the same architecture as the already-listed xberg entry.

@Goldziher Thanks for the submission. My main concern is: what does Spikard offer Python developers that is meaningfully different from FastAPI?

The proposed description mentions a non-ASGI architecture, a Rust core, performance, and type-safe routing, but it does not clearly explain the practical benefit of choosing Spikard over an established framework such as FastAPI. FastAPI already provides type-based request validation, automatic OpenAPI documentation, security utilities, WebSocket support, dependency injection, and access to the wider Starlette and ASGI ecosystem.

Could you expand the PR description to clarify:

• which Python use cases Spikard handles better than FastAPI;
• which FastAPI or ASGI capabilities are unavailable or work differently;
• examples of real Python projects choosing Spikard for these reasons.

The project may be technically distinct internally, but for inclusion in awesome-python, the PR should establish that it offers Python users a distinct practical value rather than being another typed API framework with a different runtime.

Could you expand on how spikard differs from or improves upon the existing web frameworks already listed (Django, Flask, FastAPI, Litestar, etc.)? The contribution guidelines ask what makes it uniquely awesome — a comparison would help reviewers evaluate this.
