# Using Dataclasses

FastAPI is built on top of **Pydantic**, and I have been showing you how to use Pydantic models to declare requests and responses.

But FastAPI also supports using <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html" class="external-link" target="_blank">`dataclasses`</a> the same way:

```Python hl_lines="1  7-12  19-20"
{!../../../docs_src/dataclasses/tutorial001.py!}
```

!!! tip

<blockquote markdown="1">

**FastAPI** wouldn't exist if not for the previous work of others.

There have been many tools created before that have helped inspire its creation.

I have been avoiding the creation of a new framework for several years. First I tried to solve all the features covered by **FastAPI** using many different frameworks, plug-ins, and tools.

Si tienes headers personalizados y deseas que un cliente pueda verlos en el navegador, es necesario que los añadas a tus configuraciones de CORS (puedes leer más en [CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)](../tutorial/cors.md){.internal-link target=_blank}), usando el parámetro `expose_headers` documentado en <a href="https://www.starlette.io/middleware/#corsmiddleware" class="external-link" target="_blank">Starlette's...

You will get completion in code you might even consider impossible before. As for example, the `price` key inside a JSON body (that could have been nested) that comes from a request.

No more typing the wrong key names, coming back and forth between docs, or scrolling up and down to find if you finally used `username` or `user_name`.

### Short

## Guía Avanzada de Usuario

También hay una **Guía Avanzada de Usuario** que puedes leer luego de este **Tutorial - Guía de Usuario**.

La **Guía Avanzada de Usuario**, se basa en este tutorial, utiliza los mismos conceptos y enseña algunas características adicionales.

Pero primero deberías leer el **Tutorial - Guía de Usuario** (lo que estas leyendo ahora mismo).

# Extra Data Types

Up to now, you have been using common data types, like:

* `int`
* `float`
* `str`
* `bool`

But you can also use more complex data types.

And you will still have the same features as seen up to now:

* Great editor support.
* Data conversion from incoming requests.
* Data conversion for response data.
* Data validation.
* Automatic annotation and documentation.

## Other data types

              },
              "changes-requested": {
                "delay": 2628000,
                "message": "As this PR had requested changes to be applied but has been inactive for a while, it's now going to be closed. But if there's anyone interested, feel free to create a new PR."
              }

    So, you will have to make sure your data is of the correct type. E.g. it is compatible with JSON, if you are returning a `JSONResponse`.

    And also that you are not sending any data that should have been filtered by a `response_model`.

### More info

!!! note "Technical Details"
    You could also use `from starlette.responses import Response` or `from starlette.responses import JSONResponse`.

        return with_info_plain_validator_function(cls._validate)


class DefaultPlaceholder:
    """
    You shouldn't use this class directly.

    It's used internally to recognize when a default value has been overwritten, even
    if the overridden default value was truthy.
    """

    def __init__(self, value: Any):
        self.value = value

    def __bool__(self) -> bool:
        return bool(self.value)
