    * The same way that Starlette uses Uvicorn and cannot be faster than it, **FastAPI** uses Starlette, so it cannot be faster than it.

### Hey API { #hey-api }

Once we have a FastAPI app with the models, we can use Hey API to generate a TypeScript client. The fastest way to do that is via npx.

```sh
npx @hey-api/openapi-ts -i http://localhost:8000/openapi.json -o src/client
```

This will generate a TypeScript SDK in `./src/client`.

There are some additional dependencies you might want to install.

Additional optional Pydantic dependencies:

* [`pydantic-settings`](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/usage/pydantic_settings/) - for settings management.
* [`pydantic-extra-types`](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/usage/types/extra_types/extra_types/) - for extra types to be used with Pydantic.

With **FastAPI** you get all of **Starlette**'s features (as FastAPI is just Starlette on steroids):

* Seriously impressive performance. It is [one of the fastest Python frameworks available, on par with **NodeJS** and **Go**](https://github.com/encode/starlette#performance).
* **WebSocket** support.
* In-process background tasks.
* Startup and shutdown events.

It clearly inspired Uvicorn and Starlette, that are currently faster than Sanic in open benchmarks.

That's why **FastAPI** is based on Starlette, as it is the fastest framework available (tested by third-party benchmarks).
