Passing the `root_path` to `FastAPI` would be the equivalent of passing the `--root-path` command line option to Uvicorn or Hypercorn.

### About `root_path` { #about-root-path }

Keep in mind that the server (Uvicorn) won't use that `root_path` for anything else than passing it to the app.

UserInDB(**user_dict)
```

would be equivalent to:

```Python
UserInDB(**user_in.model_dump())
```

...because `user_in.model_dump()` is a `dict`, and then we make Python "unpack" it by passing it to `UserInDB` prefixed with `**`.

So, we get a Pydantic model from the data in another Pydantic model.

    # This is an incorrect way of using it, this is not checking if the scopes are
    # provided by the token, only if the endpoint is requesting them, but the test
    # here is just to check if FastAPI is indeed registering and passing the scopes
    # correctly when using Security with parameterless dependencies.

If everything is working, or after you make the necessary changes, and all your tests are passing, then you can pin your `fastapi` to that new recent version.

## About Starlette { #about-starlette }

You shouldn't pin the version of `starlette`.

## Recap { #recap }

For those cases, you can use the `jsonable_encoder` to convert your data before passing it to a response:

You could also use `from starlette.responses import JSONResponse`.

## FastAPI People PRs

Every month, a GitHub Action updates the FastAPI People data. Those PRs look like this one: [👥 Update FastAPI People](https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/pull/11669).

If the tests are passing, you can merge it right away.

## Dependabot PRs

Dependabot will create PRs to update dependencies for several things, and those PRs all look similar, but some are way more delicate than others.

The only thing the function returned by `GzipRequest.get_route_handler` does differently is convert the `Request` to a `GzipRequest`.

Doing this, our `GzipRequest` will take care of decompressing the data (if necessary) before passing it to our *path operations*.

After that, all of the processing logic is the same.

current implementation may sometimes cause a runtime error if the
contents of the C memory appear to be a Go pointer. Therefore, avoid
passing uninitialized C memory to Go code if the Go code is going to
store pointer values in it. Zero out the memory in C before passing it
to Go.

# Optimizing calls of C code

When passing a Go pointer to a C function the compiler normally ensures
that the Go object lives on the heap. If the C function does not keep

A typical sequence might be:

    cd src  # or src/cmd
    go get golang.org/x/net@master
    go mod tidy
    go mod vendor
    go test cmd/internal/moddeps

Use caution when passing '-u' to 'go get'. The '-u' flag updates
modules providing all transitively imported packages, not only
the module providing the target package.

Note that 'go mod vendor' only copies packages that are transitively
