It won't be serialized with a model, etc.

    Make sure it has the data you want it to have, and that the values are valid JSON (if you are using `JSONResponse`).

!!! note "Technical Details"
    You could also use `from starlette.responses import JSONResponse`.

    In Pydantic version 1, you would use an internal class `Config` and `schema_extra`, as described in <a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/1.10/usage/schema/#schema-customization" class="external-link" target="_blank">Pydantic's docs: Schema customization</a>.

    You can set `schema_extra` with a `dict` containing any additional data you would like to show up in the generated JSON Schema, including `examples`.

!!! tip

fluffy = Cat(name="Mr Fluffy")
```

In this case, `fluffy` is an instance of the class `Cat`.

And to create `fluffy`, you are "calling" `Cat`.

So, a Python class is also a **callable**.

Then, in **FastAPI**, you could use a Python class as a dependency.

What FastAPI actually checks is that it is a "callable" (function, class or anything else) and the parameters defined.

![editor support](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/img/pycharm-completion.png)

You will get completion in code you might even consider impossible before. As for example, the `price` key inside a JSON body (that could have been nested) that comes from a request.

No more typing the wrong key names, coming back and forth between docs, or scrolling up and down to find if you finally used `username` or `user_name`.
