# Using the Request Directly

Up to now, you have been declaring the parts of the request that you need with their types.

Taking data from:

* The path as parameters.
* Headers.
* Cookies.
* etc.

And by doing so, **FastAPI** is validating that data, converting it and generating documentation for your API automatically.

But there are situations where you might need to access the `Request` object directly.

# ADR-0002 - Avoid using Java serialization

## Date

2012-12-01

## Context

In Gradle we often need to serialize in-memory objects for caching, or to transmit them across process barriers, etc.
Java serialization is one way to implement this, however, despite its simplicity of implementation, it has several drawbacks:

- **Performance:**
Java's built-in serialization mechanism is often slower compared to other serialization solutions.

## Recap

* Import `FastAPI`.
* Create an `app` instance.
* Write a **path operation decorator** using decorators like `@app.get("/")`.
* Define a **path operation function**; for example, `def root(): ...`.

public class SetOperationsTest extends TestCase {
  @J2ktIncompatible
  @GwtIncompatible // suite
  public static Test suite() {
    TestSuite suite = new TestSuite();

    suite.addTest(
        SetTestSuiteBuilder.using(
                new TestStringSetGenerator() {
                  @Override
                  protected Set<String> create(String[] elements) {

## Code Examples

[Using minio-go library](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/extensions/s3zip/examples/minio-go/main.go)
[Using AWS JS SDK v2](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/extensions/s3zip/examples/aws-js/main.js)
[Using boto3](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/extensions/s3zip/examples/boto3/main.py)

use the Browser to create buckets, upload objects, and browse the contents of the MinIO server. You can also connect using any S3-compatible tool, such as the MinIO Client `mc` commandline tool. See [Test using MinIO Client `mc`](#test-using-minio-client-mc) for more information on using the `mc` commandline tool. For application developers, see <https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/developers/minio-drivers.html> to view MinIO SDKs for supported languages. > NOTE: Standalone MinIO servers are best suited...
