When you check the benchmarks, it is common to see several tools of different types compared as equivalent.

Specifically, to see Uvicorn, Starlette and FastAPI compared together (among many other tools).

The simpler the problem solved by the tool, the better performance it will get. And most of the benchmarks don't test the additional features provided by the tool.

The hierarchy is like:

* **Uvicorn**: an ASGI server

    "pydantic-extra-types >=2.0.0",
]

[tool.mypy]
strict = true

[[tool.mypy.overrides]]
module = "fastapi.concurrency"
warn_unused_ignores = false
ignore_missing_imports = true

[[tool.mypy.overrides]]
module = "fastapi.tests.*"
ignore_missing_imports = true
check_untyped_defs = true

[[tool.mypy.overrides]]
module = "docs_src.*"
disallow_incomplete_defs = false

def pdm_build_initialize(context: Context) -> None:
    metadata = context.config.metadata
    # Get custom config for the current package, from the env var
    config: Dict[str, Any] = context.config.data["tool"]["tiangolo"][
        "_internal-slim-build"
    ]["packages"][TIANGOLO_BUILD_PACKAGE]
    project_config: Dict[str, Any] = config["project"]
    # Get main optional dependencies, extras

Webargs is a tool that was made to provide that on top of several frameworks, including Flask.

It uses Marshmallow underneath to do the data validation. And it was created by the same developers.

It's a great tool and I have used it a lot too, before having **FastAPI**.

!!! info
    Webargs was created by the same Marshmallow developers.

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**.

Damit erhalten wir Tool-Unterstützung, vom Editor und mypy, da dieser Code hinsichtlich der Typen korrekt ist, aber wir erhalten auch die Datenfilterung von FastAPI.

Wie funktioniert das? Schauen wir uns das mal an. 🤓

### Typannotationen und Tooling

Sehen wir uns zunächst an, wie Editor, mypy und andere Tools dies sehen würden.

!!! note
    It doesn't matter what you type in the form, it won't work yet. But we'll get there.

This is of course not the frontend for the final users, but it's a great automatic tool to document interactively all your API.

It can be used by the frontend team (that can also be yourself).

It can be used by third party applications and systems.

!!! tip "Tipp"

Many packages that simplify it a lot have to make many compromises with the data model, database, and available features. And some of these packages that simplify things too much actually have security flaws underneath.

---

**FastAPI** doesn't make any compromise with any database, data model or tool.

It gives you all the flexibility to choose the ones that fit your project the best.

* Using **Kubernetes** or similar tools
* When running on a **Raspberry Pi**
* Using a cloud service that would run a container image for you, etc.

### Package Requirements

You would normally have the **package requirements** for your application in some file.

It would depend mainly on the tool you use to **install** those requirements.
