### `HTMLResponse` { #htmlresponse }

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

### `PlainTextResponse` { #plaintextresponse }

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

{* ../../docs_src/custom_response/tutorial005_py310.py hl[2,7,9] *}

### `JSONResponse` { #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:

   * <p>This {@code Collector} uses O(k) memory and takes expected time O(n) (worst-case O(n log
   * k)), as opposed to e.g. {@code Stream.sorted(comparator).limit(k)}, which currently takes O(n
   * log n) time and O(n) space.
   *
   * @throws IllegalArgumentException if {@code k < 0}
   * @since 22.0
   */

* 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*).

### What is "Mounting" { #what-is-mounting }

"Mounting" means adding a complete "independent" application in a specific path, that then takes care of handling all the sub-paths.

This is different from using an `APIRouter` as a mounted application is completely independent. The OpenAPI and docs from your main application won't include anything from the mounted application, etc.

   * Generates test cases for the given combination of scenario and timeouts. For methods that take
   * an explicit timeout value, all of the given timeoutsToUse result in individual test cases. For
   * methods that do not take an explicit timeout value, a single test case is generated only if the
   * implicit timeout of that method matches the given timeoutsToUse. For example, enter() is
