///

## Multiple body parameters { #multiple-body-parameters }

In the previous example, the *path operations* would expect a JSON body with the attributes of an `Item`, like:

```JSON
{
    "name": "Foo",
    "description": "The pretender",
    "price": 42.0,
    "tax": 3.2
}
```

But you can also declare multiple body parameters, e.g. `item` and `user`:

///

## Multiple Workers { #multiple-workers }

You can start multiple workers with the `--workers` command line option:

//// tab | `fastapi`

If you use the `fastapi` command:

<div class="termy">

```console

read_query["/items/"]

query_extractor --> query_or_cookie_extractor --> read_query
```

## Using the same dependency multiple times { #using-the-same-dependency-multiple-times }

If one of your dependencies is declared multiple times for the same *path operation*, for example, multiple dependencies have a common sub-dependency, **FastAPI** will know to call that sub-dependency only once per request.

## Query parameter list / multiple values { #query-parameter-list-multiple-values }

When you define a query parameter explicitly with `Query` you can also declare it to receive a list of values, or said in another way, to receive multiple values.

For example, to declare a query parameter `q` that can appear multiple times in the URL, you can write:

You can also use `File()` with `UploadFile`, for example, to set additional metadata:

{* ../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_03_an_py39.py hl[9,15] *}

## Multiple File Uploads { #multiple-file-uploads }

It's possible to upload several files at the same time.

They would be associated to the same "form field" sent using "form data".

TEXT errors(SB),$0
	VSHUF4IV	$16, V1, V2	// ERROR "operand out of range 0 to 15"
	XVSHUF4IV	$16, X1, X2	// ERROR "operand out of range 0 to 15"
	ADDV16		$1, R4, R5	// ERROR "the constant must be a multiple of 65536."

But in many cases, you will want to run several worker processes at the same time.

### Multiple Processes - Workers { #multiple-processes-workers }

///

## Multiple middleware execution order { #multiple-middleware-execution-order }

With any of the methods above it would look like this in the `/docs`:

<img src="/img/tutorial/body-fields/image01.png">

### `Body` with multiple `examples` { #body-with-multiple-examples }

You can of course also pass multiple `examples`:

{* ../../docs_src/schema_extra_example/tutorial004_an_py310.py hl[23:38] *}

### One Load Balancer - Multiple Worker Containers { #one-load-balancer-multiple-worker-containers }

When working with **Kubernetes** or similar distributed container management systems, using their internal networking mechanisms would allow the single **load balancer** that is listening on the main **port** to transmit communication (requests) to possibly **multiple containers** running your app.
