of the main features needed by API systems is data "<dfn title="also called marshalling, conversion">serialization</dfn>" which is taking data from the code (Python) and converting it into something that can be sent through the network. For example, converting an object containing data from a database into a JSON object. Converting `datetime` objects into strings, etc.

Another big feature needed by APIs is data validation, making sure that the data is valid, given certain parameters. For...

 *  Fix: Don't crash when converting a `HttpUrl` instance with an unresolvable hostname to a URI.
    The new behavior strips invalid characters like `"` and `{` from the hostname before converting.

 *  Fix: Undo a performance regression introduced in OkHttp 4.0 caused by differences in behavior
