This means that instead of the normal process of your users sending requests to your API, it's **your API** (or your app) that could **send requests to their system** (to their API, their app).

This is normally called a **webhook**.

## Webhooks steps { #webhooks-steps }

"vendor/golang.org/x/crypto/cryptobyte". When a package with the
same path is imported from a package outside std or cmd, it will
be resolved normally. Consequently, a binary may be built with two
copies of a package at different versions if the package is
imported normally and vendored by the standard library.

Vendored packages are internally renamed with a "vendor/" prefix

Although any other parameter declared normally (for example, the body with a Pydantic model) would still be validated, converted, annotated, etc.

But there are specific cases where it's useful to get the `Request` object.

# OpenAPI

There are several utilities to handle OpenAPI.

    initializeData(out);

    data = baos.toByteArray();
  }

  private void initializeData(DataOutputStream out) throws IOException {
    /* Write out various test values NORMALLY */
    out.write(new byte[] {-100, 100});
    out.writeBoolean(true);
    out.writeBoolean(false);
    out.writeByte(100);
    out.writeByte(-100);
    out.writeByte((byte) 200);
    out.writeChar('a');

Here's a short description of how the FastAPI repository is managed and maintained.

## What is "Form Data" { #what-is-form-data }

The way HTML forms (`<form></form>`) sends the data to the server normally uses a "special" encoding for that data, it's different from JSON.

**FastAPI** will make sure to read that data from the right place instead of JSON.

/// note | Technical Details

Data from forms is normally encoded using the "media type" `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` when it doesn't include files.

 * @param <N> The most general node type this builder will support. This is normally {@code Object}
 *     unless it is constrained by using a method like {@link #nodeOrder}, or the builder is
 *     constructed based on an existing {@code ValueGraph} using {@link #from(ValueGraph)}.
 * @param <V> The most general value type this builder will support. This is normally {@code Object}

# WebSockets

When defining WebSockets, you normally declare a parameter of type `WebSocket` and with it you can read data from the client and send data to it.

It is provided directly by Starlette, but you can import it from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import WebSocket
```
