Clean architecture is a software design methodology that separates the processes of an application into discrete steps instead of presenting them as “spaghetti code.” With the versatility of Python, software engineers can build performant, modular applications quickly using the Flask framework.

This course will help you build better applications using the principles of clean architecture. You’ll start with an introduction to data flow in clean systems and learn about the advantages of layered architectures. Next, you’ll learn system components and the connections between application layers. You’ll then design and build a clean system using Python by layering components in guided coding exercises. Finally, you’ll learn how to add functional components for the web, handle errors, and work with external databases using both Postgres and MongoDB. At each step, you’ll use test-driven development practices to ensure robust functionality.

Clean Architecture in Python

Outer layers can use the `Room` model, but if we want to return the model itself due to an API call, we need a **serializer**.

The typical serialization format is JSON, since this is a broadly accepted standard for web-based APIs. The serializer is not a part of the model but is actually a specialized external class that receives the model instance and represents its structure and values.


## Test case for JSON serialization

The following is the test for the JSON serialization of our `Room` model:
