FastAPI — An Intro
1. INTRODUCTION
FastAPI is a contemporary web framework designed for the development of APIs. It leverages the Python 3.6+ programming language. It distinguishes itself through its emphasis on speed, high performance, and the utilization of standard Python type hints.
This framework facilitates the creation of APIs that are not only efficient but also scalable and maintainable, catering to the demands of modern web applications.
AUTOMATIC API DOCUMENTATION:
One of the hallmark features of FastAPI is its automatic API documentation. This is achieved through the integration of tools such as Swagger UI and ReDoc, which automatically generate interactive API documentation. This allows developers to visualize and interact with the API’s endpoints, enhancing the development, testing, and maintenance processes. The automatic documentation also ensures that the API is accessible and understandable to both the developers who build it and the end-users who consume it.
VALIDATION:
Validation of request and response data is another critical feature offered by FastAPI. By leveraging Python’s type hints, FastAPI can validate incoming…
