The `Union[str, None]` part allows your editor to provide better support, but it is not what tells FastAPI that this parameter is not required.

Then, we can pass more parameters to `Query`. In this case, the `max_length` parameter that applies to strings:

```Python
q: Union[str, None] = Query(default=None, max_length=50)
```

    {!> ../../../docs_src/query_params_str_validations/tutorial003_py310.py!}
    ```

Allgemeine Validierungen und Metadaten:

* `alias`
* `title`
* `description`
* `deprecated`

Validierungen spezifisch für Strings:

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

In diesen Beispielen haben Sie gesehen, wie Sie Validierungen für Strings hinzufügen.
