I have been avoiding the creation of a new framework for several years. First I tried to solve all the features covered by **FastAPI** using many different frameworks, plug-ins, and tools.

## Code size

This example might seem verbose. Keep in mind that we are mixing security, data models, utility functions and *path operations* in the same file.

But here's the key point.

The security and dependency injection stuff is written once.

And you can make it as complex as you want. And still, have it written only once, in a single place. With all the flexibility.

!!! check
    So, with the same Python type declaration, **FastAPI** gives you data validation.

    Notice that the error also clearly states exactly the point where the validation didn't pass.

    This is incredibly helpful while developing and debugging code that interacts with your API.

## Documentation

!!! check "vérifier"
    Donc, avec ces mêmes déclarations de type Python, **FastAPI** vous fournit de la validation de données.

    Notez que l'erreur mentionne le point exact où la validation n'a pas réussi.

    Ce qui est incroyablement utile au moment de développer et débugger du code qui interagit avec votre API.

## Documentation

### What is a Process

The word **process** is normally used in a more specific way, only referring to the thing that is running in the operating system (like in the last point above):

* A particular program while it is **running** on the operating system.

```Python hl_lines="3"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial001.py!}
```

Here the `app` variable will be an "instance" of the class `FastAPI`.

This will be the main point of interaction to create all your API.

### Step 3: create a *path operation*

#### Path

"Path" here refers to the last part of the URL starting from the first `/`.

So, in a URL like:

```
