# Alternatives, Inspiration and Comparisons

What inspired **FastAPI**, how it compares to alternatives and what it learned from them.

## Intro

**FastAPI** wouldn't exist if not for the previous work of others.

There have been many tools created before that have helped inspire its creation.

Many times in airgapped deployments this is not allowed or requires audits and approvals.

#### What is OpenAPI for

The OpenAPI schema is what powers the two interactive documentation systems included.

And there are dozens of alternatives, all based on OpenAPI. You could easily add any of those alternatives to your application built with **FastAPI**.

You could also use it to generate code automatically, for clients that communicate with your API. For example, frontend, mobile or IoT applications.

There are several alternatives, including:

* <a href="https://www.uvicorn.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Uvicorn</a>: a high performance ASGI server.

   * Collections.min(collection, thisComparator)} instead. Otherwise, use {@code
   * Streams.stream(iterable).min(thisComparator).get()} instead. Note that these alternatives do
   * not guarantee which tied minimum element is returned.
   *
   * @param iterable the iterable whose minimum element is to be determined
   * @throws NoSuchElementException if {@code iterable} is empty

* Fix typo. PR [#1326](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/1326) by [@chenl](https://github.com/chenl).

### Aktualisierung der alternativen API-Dokumentation

Und nun gehen Sie auf <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/redoc" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/redoc</a>.

* Die alternative Dokumentation wird ebenfalls den neuen Abfrageparameter und -inhalt widerspiegeln:
