You could put your XML content in a string, put it in a `Response`, and return it:

```Python hl_lines="1  18"
{!../../../docs_src/response_directly/tutorial002.py!}
```

## Notes

When you return a `Response` directly its data is not validated, converted (serialized), nor documented automatically.

But you can still document it as described in [Additional Responses in OpenAPI](additional-responses.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

```Python
burgers = await get_burgers(2)
```

The key here is the `await`. It tells Python that it has to wait ⏸ for `get_burgers(2)` to finish doing its thing 🕙 before storing the results in `burgers`. With that, Python will know that it can go and do something else 🔀 ⏯ in the meanwhile (like receiving another request).

And the dependency function `get_current_active_user` can also declare sub-dependencies, not only with `Depends` but also with `Security`. Declaring its own sub-dependency function (`get_current_user`), and more scope requirements.

In this case, it requires the scope `me` (it could require more than one scope).

!!! note

!!! note
    If you use a response class with no media type, FastAPI will expect your response to have no content, so it will not document the response format in its generated OpenAPI docs.

## Use `ORJSONResponse`

                * `variables`: A `dict` between a variable name and its value. The value
                    is used for substitution in the server's URL template.

And all of them can use `yield`.

In this case `dependency_c`, to execute its exit code, needs the value from `dependency_b` (here named `dep_b`) to still be available.

And, in turn, `dependency_b` needs the value from `dependency_a` (here named `dep_a`) to be available for its exit code.

=== "Python 3.9+"

    ```Python hl_lines="18-19  26-27"

Each of those response `dict`s can have a key `model`, containing a Pydantic model, just like `response_model`.

**FastAPI** will take that model, generate its JSON Schema and include it in the correct place in OpenAPI.

For example, to declare another response with a status code `404` and a Pydantic model `Message`, you can write:

```Python hl_lines="18  22"

    ├── __init__.py
    ├── crud.py
    ├── database.py
    ├── main.py
    ├── models.py
    └── schemas.py
```

The file `__init__.py` is just an empty file, but it tells Python that `sql_app` with all its modules (Python files) is a package.

Now let's see what each file/module does.

## Install `SQLAlchemy`

First you need to install `SQLAlchemy`:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install sqlalchemy

You can also create an environment variable only for a specific program invocation, that is only available to that program, and only for its duration.

To do that, create it right before the program itself, on the same line:

<div class="termy">

```console
// Create an env var MY_NAME in line for this program call
