## About Starlette { #about-starlette }

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

Different versions of **FastAPI** will use a specific newer version of Starlette.

So, you can just let **FastAPI** use the correct Starlette version.

## About Pydantic { #about-pydantic }

# About { #about }

### Don't worry about style { #dont-worry-about-style }

* Don't worry too much about things like commit message styles, I will squash and merge customizing the commit manually.

* Also don't worry about style rules, there are already automatized tools checking that.

    * That's one layer **below HTTP**.
    * So, the **certificate and encryption** handling is done **before HTTP**.
* **TCP doesn't know about "domains"**. Only about IP addresses.
    * The information about the **specific domain** requested goes in the **HTTP data**.

FastAPI knows this, and will produce OpenAPI docs that state there is no response body.
