+## Web applications
+The App Configuration provider loads data into a `Mapping` object, accessible as a dictionary, which can be used in combination with the existing configuration of various Python frameworks. This section shows how to use the App Configuration provider in popular web frameworks like Flask and Django.
+
+### [Flask](#tab/flask)
+You can use Azure App Configuration in your existing Flask web apps by updating its in-built configuration. You can do this by passing your App Configuration provider object to the `update` function of your Flask app instance in `app.py`:
+
+```python
+azure_app_config = load(connection_string=os.environ.get("AZURE_APPCONFIG_CONNECTION_STRING"))
+
+# NOTE: This will override all existing configuration settings with the same key name.
+app.config.update(azure_app_config)
+
+# Access a configuration setting directly from within Flask configuration
+message = app.config.get("message")
+```
+
+### [Django](#tab/django)
+You can use Azure App Configuration in your existing Django web apps by adding the following lines of code into your `settings.py` file
+
+```python
+CONFIG = load(connection_string=os.environ.get("AZURE_APPCONFIG_CONNECTION_STRING"))
+```
+
+To access individual configuration settings in the Django views, you can reference them from the provider object created in Django settings. For example, in `views.py`:
+```python
+# Import Django settings
+from django.conf import settings
+
+# Access a configuration setting from Django settings instance.
+MESSAGE = settings.CONFIG.get("message")
+```
