* If you are comparing Starlette, compare it against Sanic, Flask, Django, etc. Web frameworks (or microframeworks).
* **FastAPI**:
    * 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:

* <a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/usage/pydantic_settings/" target="_blank"><code>pydantic-settings</code></a> - for settings management.
* <a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/usage/types/extra_types/extra_types/" target="_blank"><code>pydantic-extra-types</code></a> - for extra types to be used with Pydantic.

* Seriously impressive performance. It is <a href="https://github.com/encode/starlette#performance" class="external-link" target="_blank">one of the fastest Python frameworks available, on par with **NodeJS** and **Go**</a>.
* **WebSocket** support.
* In-process background tasks.
* Startup and shutdown events.
* Test client built on HTTPX.

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

Find a way to have a crazy performance.

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