Flask is a microframework providing simplicity, flexibility, and fine-grained control, allowing developers to choose their own tools. In contrast, Django is a full-featured framework providing an 'all-inclusive' experience out of the box, including an admin panel, database interfaces, an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM), and a pre-defined directory structure.

Django vs Flask

Being a microframework, a flask application is able to be written in something as simple as a single file, for example:
```python
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello():
    return 'Hello, World!'
```
