For anyone looking for argument parsing and serialization with Flask, I recommend webargs (http://webargs.readthedocs.org/), marshmallow (http://marshmallow.readthedocs.org), and flask-marshmallow (http://flask-marshmallow.readthedocs.org/).

what rest-framework do you use with flask ? or build one yourself using what components (except these 2)?

You can use Spyne[1]'s HttpRpc and JsonDocument protocols via Flask-Spyne[2].

You can actually use Spyne with Django as well[3] (and Spyne has a "general model serializer" that can be used with a lot less boilerplate than what's shown here).

Spyne supports a lot of protocols as well as persisting to a relational database via SQLAlchemy.
