### 3.1 Automatic removal of non current objects versions

A non-current object version is a version which is not the latest for a given object. It is possible to set up an automatic removal of non-current versions when a version becomes older than a given number of days.

    * FastAPI provides more features on top of Starlette. Features that you almost always need when building APIs, like data validation and serialization. And by using it, you get automatic documentation for free (the automatic documentation doesn't even add overhead to running applications, it is generated on startup).

     */
    private static final String MODULE_INFO = "module-info.class";

    /**
     * The attribute for automatic module name in {@code META-INF/MANIFEST.MF} files.
     */
    private static final Attributes.Name AUTO_MODULE_NAME = new Attributes.Name("Automatic-Module-Name");

    /**
     * Module information for the path specified at construction time.

    Even if they are in different modules (Python files).

## Exclude from OpenAPI

To exclude a *path operation* from the generated OpenAPI schema (and thus, from the automatic documentation systems), use the parameter `include_in_schema` and set it to `False`:

```Python hl_lines="6"
{!../../../docs_src/path_operation_advanced_configuration/tutorial003.py!}
```

* Automatic data model documentation with <a href="https://json-schema.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank"><strong>JSON Schema</strong></a> (as OpenAPI itself is based on JSON Schema).
* Designed around these standards, after a meticulous study. Instead of an afterthought layer on top.
* This also allows using automatic **client code generation** in many languages.

### Automatic docs

test-site-replication-ldap: install-race ## verify automatic site replication
	@echo "Running tests for automatic site replication of IAM (with LDAP)"
	@(env bash $(PWD)/docs/site-replication/run-multi-site-ldap.sh)

test-site-replication-oidc: install-race ## verify automatic site replication
	@echo "Running tests for automatic site replication of IAM (with OIDC)"

This could be useful if for example you live in a country that restricts some URLs.

### Disable the automatic docs

The first step is to disable the automatic docs, as by default, those use the default CDN.

To disable them, set their URLs to `None` when creating your `FastAPI` app:

```Python hl_lines="8"

      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        # Override automatic language detection by changing the below list
        # Supported options are ['csharp', 'cpp', 'go', 'java', 'javascript', 'python']
        language: ['java']
        # Learn more...
        # https://docs.github.com/en/github/finding-security-vulnerabilities-and-errors-in-your-code/configuring-code-scanning#overriding-automatic-language-detection

    steps:

You will see the automatic API docs for the main app, including only its own _path operations_:

<img src="/img/tutorial/sub-applications/image01.png">

And then, open the docs for the sub-application, at <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/subapi/docs" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/subapi/docs</a>.

It was one of the first examples of **automatic API documentation**, and this was specifically one of the first ideas that inspired "the search for" **FastAPI**.

!!! note
    Django REST Framework was created by Tom Christie. The same creator of Starlette and Uvicorn, on which **FastAPI** is based.

    Have an automatic API documentation web user interface.
