[Flask] Flask Extension Development

[Gergely Polonkai]

Hello Alena,

I just stumbled upon a library: Flask-JSGlue. This does pretty much what
you want to achieve, although it doesn’t do any filtering (so it exposes
everything). Maybe you should expand this instead of writing a new one.

Best,
Gergely
