In the next chapters, I'll give you more **concrete recipes** to deploy FastAPI applications.

But for now, let's check these important **conceptual ideas**. These concepts also apply to any other type of web API. 💡

## Security - HTTPS

This code is something you can actually use in your application, save the password hashes in your database, etc.

We are going to start from where we left in the previous chapter and increment it.

## About JWT

JWT means "JSON Web Tokens".

It's a standard to codify a JSON object in a long dense string without spaces. It looks like this:

```

But once you know the basic information of **HTTPS for developers** you can easily combine and configure different tools to help you manage everything in a simple way.

But even if you never use **FastAPI**, you would benefit from learning a bit about them.

!!! note
    If you are a Python expert, and you already know everything about type hints, skip to the next chapter.

## Motivation

Let's start with a simple example:

```Python
{!../../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial001.py!}
```

Calling this program outputs:

```
John Doe
```

You have *path operations* for:

* `/items/`
* `/items/{item_id}`

It's all the same structure as with `app/routers/users.py`.

But we want to be smarter and simplify the code a bit.

We know all the *path operations* in this module have the same:

* Path `prefix`: `/items`.
* `tags`: (just one tag: `items`).
* Extra `responses`.

Ensuite, quand c'est votre tour, vous faites des actions "productives" 🤓, vous étudiez le menu, décidez ce que vous voulez, demandez à votre crush 😍 son choix, payez 💸, vérifiez que vous utilisez la bonne carte de crédit, vérifiez que le montant débité sur la carte est correct, vérifiez que la commande contient les bons produits, etc.

And that function takes parameters in the same way that *path operation functions* do.

!!! tip
    You'll see what other "things", apart from functions, can be used as dependencies in the next chapter.

Whenever a new request arrives, **FastAPI** will take care of:

* Calling your dependency ("dependable") function with the correct parameters.
* Get the result from your function.

FastAPI (eigentlich Starlette) fügt automatisch einen Content-Length-Header ein. Außerdem wird es einen Content-Type-Header einfügen, der auf dem media_type basiert, und für Texttypen einen Zeichensatz (charset) anfügen.

```Python hl_lines="1  18"
{!../../../docs_src/response_directly/tutorial002.py!}
```

### `HTMLResponse`

* `status_code` - `int` のHTTPステータスコード。
* `headers` - 文字列の `dict` 。
* `media_type` - メディアタイプを示す `str` 。例えば `"text/html"` 。

FastAPI (実際にはStarlette) は自動的にContent-Lengthヘッダーを含みます。また、media_typeに基づいたContent-Typeヘッダーを含み、テキストタイプのためにcharsetを追加します。

```Python hl_lines="1  18"
{!../../../docs_src/response_directly/tutorial002.py!}
```

### `HTMLResponse`

上で読んだように、テキストやバイトを受け取り、HTMLレスポンスを返します。

### `PlainTextResponse`

* `deprecated`

Validations specific for strings:

* `min_length`
* `max_length`
* `pattern`

In these examples you saw how to declare validations for `str` values.
