You can use the same type declarations with `str`, `float`, `bool` and many other complex data types.

Several of these are explored in the next chapters of the tutorial.

## Order matters

When creating *path operations*, you can find situations where you have a fixed path.

Like `/users/me`, let's say that it's to get data about the current user.

* Memory
* Previous steps before starting

    Never store user's plaintext passwords. Always store a "secure hash" that you can then verify.

    If you don't know, you will learn what a "password hash" is in the [security chapters](security/simple-oauth2.md#password-hashing){.internal-link target=_blank}.

## Multiple models

Here's a general idea of how the models could look like with their password fields and the places where they are used:

    In particular, when running on **Kubernetes** you will probably **not** want to use Gunicorn and instead run **a single Uvicorn process per container**, but I'll tell you about it later in that chapter.

## Gunicorn with Uvicorn Workers

    Data from forms is normally encoded using the "media type" `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`.

    But when the form includes files, it is encoded as `multipart/form-data`. You'll read about handling files in the next chapter.

     */
    map.put(Integer.class, new Integer(5));
    assertThrows(ClassCastException.class, () -> map.put(Double.class, new Long(42)));
    // Won't compile: map.put(String.class, "x");
  }

    map.put(Integer.class, new Integer(5));
    assertThrows(ClassCastException.class, () -> map.put(Double.class, new Long(42)));
    // Won't compile: map.put(String.class, "x");
  }

That defines the metadata about the main response of a *path operation*.

You can also declare additional responses with their models, status codes, etc.

There's a whole chapter here in the documentation about it, you can read it at [Additional Responses in OpenAPI](additional-responses.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

## OpenAPI Extra

To see all the options you have, checkout the docs for <a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/types/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Pydantic's exotic types</a>. You will see some examples in the next chapter.

For example, as in the `Image` model we have a `url` field, we can declare it to be an instance of Pydantic's `HttpUrl` instead of a `str`:
