obtained from concatenating a sequence of characters. There are two forms:
raw string literals and interpreted string literals.
</p>

<p>
Raw string literals are character sequences between back quotes, as in
<code>`foo`</code>.  Within the quotes, any character may appear except
back quote. The value of a raw string literal is the
string composed of the uninterpreted (implicitly UTF-8-encoded) characters
between the quotes;

You can write <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown" class="external-link" target="_blank">Markdown</a> in the docstring, it will be interpreted and displayed correctly (taking into account docstring indentation).

{* ../../docs_src/path_operation_configuration/tutorial004_py310.py hl[17:25] *}

It will be used in the interactive docs:

* If the parameter is of a **singular type** (like `int`, `float`, `str`, `bool`, etc) it will be interpreted as a **query** parameter.
* If the parameter is declared to be of the type of a **Pydantic model**, it will be interpreted as a request **body**.

/// note

FastAPI will know that the value of `q` is not required because of the default value `= None`.

# Query Parameters { #query-parameters }

When you declare other function parameters that are not part of the path parameters, they are automatically interpreted as "query" parameters.

{* ../../docs_src/query_params/tutorial001_py39.py hl[9] *}

The query is the set of key-value pairs that go after the `?` in a URL, separated by `&` characters.

For example, in the URL:

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/?skip=0&limit=10
```

     * The prefix before the {@code :} character, if present and longer than 1 character, is the syntax.
     * If no syntax is specified, or if its length is 1 character (interpreted as a Windows drive),
     * the default is a Maven-specific variation of the {@code "glob"} pattern.
     *
     * <p>The default implementation returns an empty list, which means to apply a language-dependent pattern.

{
  "q": [
    "foo",
    "bar"
  ]
}
```

/// tip

To declare a query parameter with a type of `list`, like in the example above, you need to explicitly use `Query`, otherwise it would be interpreted as a request body.

The interactive API docs will update accordingly, to allow multiple values:

            contents will be copied to the output directory in most cases (since scripts are
            interpreted rather than compiled).
            The default value is {@code src/main/scripts}.
