#### What is OpenAPI for

The OpenAPI schema is what powers the two interactive documentation systems included.

And there are dozens of alternatives, all based on OpenAPI. You could easily add any of those alternatives to your application built with **FastAPI**.

You could also use it to generate code automatically, for clients that communicate with your API. For example, frontend, mobile or IoT applications.

There are several alternatives, including:

* <a href="https://www.uvicorn.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Uvicorn</a>: a high performance ASGI server.

!!! warning
    This is a more advanced use case. Feel free to skip it.

By default, **FastAPI** will create a `server` in the OpenAPI schema with the URL for the `root_path`.

But you can also provide other alternative `servers`, for example if you want *the same* docs UI to interact with a staging and production environments.

    # TODO: remove after upgrading python-jose to a version that explicitly supports Python 3.12
    # also, if it won't receive an update, consider replacing python-jose with some alternative
    # related issues:
    #   - https://github.com/mpdavis/python-jose/issues/332

    * Objetos `datetime`.
    * Objetos `UUID`.
    * Modelos de bases de datos.
    * ...y muchos más.
* Documentación automática e interactiva incluyendo 2 interfaces de usuario alternativas:
    * Swagger UI.
    * ReDoc.

Volviendo al ejemplo de código anterior, **FastAPI** va a:

* Validar que existe un `item_id` en el path para requests usando `GET` y `PUT`.

* Alternative API documentation with <a href="https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc" class="external-link" target="_blank"><strong>ReDoc</strong></a>.

### Just Modern Python

    * Objetos `datetime`.
    * Objetos `UUID`.
    * Modelos de Banco de Dados.
    * ...e muito mais.
* Documentação interativa automática da API, incluindo 2 alternativas de interface de usuário:
    * Swagger UI.
    * ReDoc.

---

Voltando ao código do exemplo anterior, **FastAPI** irá:

* Validar que existe um `item_id` na rota para requisições `GET` e `PUT`.

### Alternative API docs

And now, go to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/redoc" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/redoc</a>.

You will see the alternative automatic documentation (provided by <a href="https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc" class="external-link" target="_blank">ReDoc</a>):
