```Python
    from main import app
    ```

!!! warning
    Uvicorn and others support a `--reload` option that is useful during development.

    The `--reload` option consumes much more resources, is more unstable, etc.

    It helps a lot during **development**, but you **shouldn't** use it in **production**.

## Hypercorn with Trio

One particular advantage that is not necessarily obvious is that you can **generate clients** (sometimes called <abbr title="Software Development Kits">**SDKs**</abbr> ) for your API, for many different **programming languages**.

## OpenAPI Client Generators

There are many tools to generate clients from **OpenAPI**.

    * So, by using FastAPI you are saving development time, bugs, lines of code, and you would probably get the same performance (or better) you would if you didn't use it (as you would have to implement it all in your code).

## `fastapi dev`

When you run `fastapi dev`, it will run on development mode.

By default, it will have **auto-reload** enabled, so it will automatically reload the server when you make changes to your code. This is resource intensive and could be less stable than without it, you should only use it for development.

And it will work and will be useful **during development**.

But if your connection to the server is lost, the **running process** will probably die.

### Editor support

All the framework was designed to be easy and intuitive to use, all the decisions were tested on multiple editors even before starting development, to ensure the best development experience.

$ fastapi dev main.py
