But if you want to **stream pure binary data** or strings, here's how you can do it.

/// info

Added in FastAPI 0.134.0.

///

## Use Cases { #use-cases }

You could use this if you want to stream pure strings, for example directly from the output of an **AI LLM** service.

Of course, there are some cases where there's no problem in running the previous steps multiple times, in that case, it's a lot easier to handle.

/// tip

Also, keep in mind that depending on your setup, in some cases you **might not even need any previous steps** before starting your application.

In that case, you wouldn't have to worry about any of this. 🤷

///

/// info

As you will see below, this is very similar to the behavior before version 0.106.0, but with several improvements and bug fixes for corner cases.

///

#### Use Cases with Early Exit Code { #use-cases-with-early-exit-code }

There are some use cases with specific conditions that could benefit from the old behavior of running the exit code of dependencies with `yield` before sending the response.

///

## Use cases { #use-cases }

Some use cases include:

* Converting non-JSON request bodies to JSON (e.g. [`msgpack`](https://msgpack.org/index.html)).
* Decompressing gzip-compressed request bodies.
* Automatically logging all request bodies.

## Handling custom request body encodings { #handling-custom-request-body-encodings }

Let's see how to make use of a custom `Request` subclass to decompress gzip requests.

# Dependencies in path operation decorators { #dependencies-in-path-operation-decorators }

In some cases you don't really need the return value of a dependency inside your *path operation function*.

Or the dependency doesn't return a value.

But you still need it to be executed/solved.

For those cases, instead of declaring a *path operation function* parameter with `Depends`, you can add a `list` of `dependencies` to the *path operation decorator*.

In rare cases, programs that do not benefit from connection reuse might
experience performance degradation if they had been improperly allowing an
excessive amount of idle connections to linger; usually by setting
[Transport.MaxIdleConns] to `0` or using different [Client]s for different
requests, thereby bypassing [Transport.MaxIdleConns] limit. In these cases,

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import org.codelibs.fess.suggest.constants.FieldNames;
import org.junit.Test;

/**
 * Boundary tests for SuggestItem.
 * Tests edge cases, null handling, and limit conditions.
 */
public class SuggestItemBoundaryTest {

    // ============================================================
    // Tests for empty/boundary text arrays

Those parameters are what **FastAPI** will use to "solve" the dependency.

In both cases, it will have:

* An optional `q` query parameter that is a `str`.
* A `skip` query parameter that is an `int`, with a default of `0`.
* A `limit` query parameter that is an `int`, with a default of `100`.

In both cases the data will be converted, validated, documented on the OpenAPI schema, etc.

## Use it { #use-it }

You probably read before that you can set a default [Response Status Code](../tutorial/response-status-code.md).

But in some cases you need to return a different status code than the default.

## Use case { #use-case }

For example, imagine that you want to return an HTTP status code of "OK" `200` by default.
