It is just a function that can take all the same parameters that a *path operation function* can take:

{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[8:9] *}

That's it.

**2 lines**.

And it has the same shape and structure that all your *path operation functions* have.

You can think of it as a *path operation function* without the "decorator" (without the `@app.get("/some-path")`).

And it can return anything you want.

This schema definition includes your API paths, the possible parameters they take, etc.

#### Data "schema"

The term "schema" might also refer to the shape of some data, like a JSON content.

In that case, it would mean the JSON attributes, and data types they have, etc.

#### OpenAPI and JSON Schema

{* ../../docs_src/security/tutorial005_an_py310.py hl[106,108:116] *}

## Verify the `username` and data shape

We verify that we get a `username`, and extract the scopes.

## Pydantic models

<a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Pydantic</a> is a Python library to perform data validation.

You declare the "shape" of the data as classes with attributes.

And each attribute has a type.

                or is_scalar_sequence_field(field)
                or (
                    lenient_issubclass(field.type_, BaseModel)
                    # For Pydantic v1
                    and getattr(field, "shape", 1) == 1
                )
            )
