## FastAPI Experts

These are the users that have been [helping others the most with questions in GitHub](help-fastapi.md#help-others-with-questions-in-github){.internal-link target=_blank}. 🙇

# Custom Response - HTML, Stream, File, others { #custom-response-html-stream-file-others }

By default, **FastAPI** will return the responses using `JSONResponse`.

You can override it by returning a `Response` directly as seen in [Return a Response directly](response-directly.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

## Deprecating parameters { #deprecating-parameters }

Now let's say you don't like this parameter anymore.

You have to leave it there a while because there are clients using it, but you want the docs to clearly show it as <abbr title="obsolete, recommended not to use it">deprecated</abbr>.

Then pass the parameter `deprecated=True` to `Query`:

### Format the code

There is a script that you can run that will format and clean all your code:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ bash scripts/format.sh
```

</div>

It will also auto-sort all your imports.

## Tests

There is a script that you can run locally to test all the code and generate coverage reports in HTML:

* `tuple`
* `set`
* `dict`

And the same as with Python 3.8, from the `typing` module:

* `Union`
* `Optional`
* ...and others.

//// tab | Python 3.8+

* `List`
* `Tuple`
* `Set`
* `Dict`
* `Union`
* `Optional`
* ...and others.

### Classes as types { #classes-as-types }

You can also declare a class as the type of a variable.
