Introduction to Streamlit: Basic Concepts

Streamlit is an open-source platform that turns data scripts into shareable web apps in minutes, all in pure Python, and no front‑end experience is required. Streamlit builds upon a few simple principles:

• Embrace scripting: Build an app in a few lines of code with a simple API and watch it automatically update as it iteratively saves the source file.

• Weave in interaction: Adding a widget is the same as declaring a variable without writing a backend, defining routes, handling HTTP requests, connecting a frontend, and writing HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.

• Deploy instantly: Effortlessly share, manage, and deploy apps directly from Streamlit.

• Integrate libraries: Streamlit is compatible with many of the libraries utilized in data science, machine learning, and large language models, which makes it ideal for developing applications such as chatbots. Its interface and components are intuitive, and its learning curve is shallow. ...
