Ele foi uma das primeiras implementações de um framework usando Python _type hints_ para declarar parâmetros e requisições que eu nunca vi (antes no NestJS e Molten). Eu encontrei ele mais ou menos na mesma época que o Hug. Mas o APIStar utilizava o padrão OpenAPI.

Ele tinha validação de dados automática, serialização de dados e geração de _schema_ OpenAPI baseado nos mesmos _type hints_ em vários locais.
