### `HTMLResponse`

Takes some text or bytes and returns an HTML response, as you read above.

### `PlainTextResponse`

Takes some text or bytes and returns a plain text response.

```Python hl_lines="2  7  9"
{!../../docs_src/custom_response/tutorial005.py!}
```

### `JSONResponse`

Takes some data and returns an `application/json` encoded response.

And that function takes parameters in the same way that *path operation functions* do.

/// tip

You'll see what other "things", apart from functions, can be used as dependencies in the next chapter.

///

Whenever a new request arrives, **FastAPI** will take care of:

* Calling your dependency ("dependable") function with the correct parameters.

* It takes each **request** that comes to your application.
* It can then do something to that **request** or run any needed code.
* Then it passes the **request** to be processed by the rest of the application (by some *path operation*).
* It then takes the **response** generated by the application (by some *path operation*).

      if (iterations >= maxIterations) {
        @SuppressWarnings("nullness") // safe because we pass sort() a range that contains real Ts
        T[] castBuffer = (T[]) buffer;
        // We've already taken O(k log k), let's make sure we don't take longer than O(k log k).
        sort(castBuffer, left, right + 1, comparator);
        break;
      }
    }
    bufferSize = k;

   *       maxPermits is equal to warmupPeriod.
   *   <li>When _used_, the time it takes, as explained in the introductory class note, is equal to
   *       the integral of our function, between X permits and X-K permits, assuming we want to
   *       spend K saved permits.
   * </ol>

# `HTTPConnection` class

When you want to define dependencies that should be compatible with both HTTP and WebSockets, you can define a parameter that takes an `HTTPConnection` instead of a `Request` or a `WebSocket`.

You can import it from `fastapi.requests`:

```python
from fastapi.requests import HTTPConnection
```

# Dependencies - `Depends()` and `Security()`

## `Depends()`

Dependencies are handled mainly with the special function `Depends()` that takes a callable.

Here is the reference for it and its parameters.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import Depends
```

::: fastapi.Depends

## `Security()`

on 16 drive MinIO deployment. If you use eight data and eight parity drives, the file space usage will be approximately twice, i.e. 100 MiB
file will take 200 MiB space. But, if you use ten data and six parity drives, same 100 MiB file takes around 160 MiB. If you use 14 data and
two parity drives, 100 MiB file takes only approximately 114 MiB.

    // Write the tagClass, tag, and constructed bit. This takes 1 byte if tag is less than 31.
    if (tag < 31) {
      val byte0 = tagClass or constructedBit or tag.toInt()
      sink.writeByte(byte0)
    } else {
      val byte0 = tagClass or constructedBit or 0b0001_1111
      sink.writeByte(byte0)
      writeVariableLengthLong(tag)
    }

    // Write the length. This takes 1 byte if length is less than 128.
