But if you are certain that the content that you are returning is **serializable with JSON**, you can pass it directly to the response class and avoid the extra overhead that FastAPI would have by passing your return content through the `jsonable_encoder` before passing it to the response class.

```Python hl_lines="2  7"

    listOf(
        // We pass the 'maxParallelForks' setting as 'workers.max' to limit the maximum number of executers even
        // if multiple test tasks run in parallel. We also pass it to the Gradle build as a maximum (maxParallelForks)

#### Password hashing

"Hashing" means: converting some content (a password in this case) into a sequence of bytes (just a string) that looks like gibberish.

Whenever you pass exactly the same content (exactly the same password) you get exactly the same gibberish.

But you cannot convert from the gibberish back to the password.

##### Why use password hashing

    'password': 'secret',
    'email': '******@****.***',
    'full_name': None,
}
```

#### Unwrapping a `dict`

If we take a `dict` like `user_dict` and pass it to a function (or class) with `**user_dict`, Python will "unwrap" it. It will pass the keys and values of the `user_dict` directly as key-value arguments.

So, continuing with the `user_dict` from above, writing:

```Python
UserInDB(**user_dict)
```

This also means that in many cases you can pass the same object you get from a request **directly to the database**, as everything is validated automatically.

The same applies the other way around, in many cases you can just pass the object you get from the database **directly to the client**.

This way you write shared code once and **FastAPI** takes care of calling it for your *path operations*.

!!! check
    Notice that you don't have to create a special class and pass it somewhere to **FastAPI** to "register" it or anything similar.

    You just pass it to `Depends` and **FastAPI** knows how to do the rest.

## Share `Annotated` dependencies

In the examples above, you see that there's a tiny bit of **code duplication**.

    The `app.webhooks` object is actually just an `APIRouter`, the same type you would use when structuring your app with multiple files.

Notice that with webhooks you are actually not declaring a *path* (like `/items/`), the text you pass there is just an **identifier** of the webhook (the name of the event), for example in `@app.webhooks.post("new-subscription")`, the webhook name is `new-subscription`.

There are 2 main differences from a normal *path operation*:

* It doesn't need to have any actual code, because your app will never call this code. It's only used to document the *external API*. So, the function could just have `pass`.
