You can import them directly from `fastapi.responses`:

```python
from fastapi.responses import (
    FileResponse,
    HTMLResponse,
    JSONResponse,
    ORJSONResponse,
    PlainTextResponse,
    RedirectResponse,
    Response,
    StreamingResponse,
    UJSONResponse,
)
```

## FastAPI Responses

There are a couple of custom FastAPI response classes, you can use them to optimize JSON performance.

{!../../../docs_src/custom_response/tutorial001.py!}
```

!!! tip
    It's possible that `ORJSONResponse` might be a faster alternative.

### `RedirectResponse`

Returns an HTTP redirect. Uses a 307 status code (Temporary Redirect) by default.

You can return a `RedirectResponse` directly:

```Python hl_lines="2  9"
{!../../../docs_src/custom_response/tutorial006.py!}
```

---

And tools will also be happy because both `RedirectResponse` and `JSONResponse` are subclasses of `Response`, so the type annotation is correct.

### Annotate a Response Subclass

You can also use a subclass of `Response` in the type annotation:

```Python hl_lines="8-9"
{!> ../../../docs_src/response_model/tutorial003_03.py!}
```
