Photo by Kyryl Levenets on Unsplash Here's an article to help you start with the essentials of FastAPI, a very powerful yet simple framework. It's a clear trend in the industry. What is FastAPI ? FastAPI is a modern, fast web framework for building APIs with Python. It is built on top of the Starlette framework and relies on Python's type annotations to provide fast and efficient validation, serialization and documentation of API requests and responses. What are the main features of FastAPI ? Fast performance : FastAPI is built with high-performance libraries such as Pydantic and Uvicorn to achieve incredible speeds and handle high traffic loads. Simple and easy-to-use Easy validation and serialization : FastAPI uses Python's type hints to automatically validate API requests and responses, as well as to automatically serialize and deserialize data to and from JSON. Built-in documentation : FastAPI automatically generates interactive API d...
