# Custom Request and APIRoute class

In some cases, you may want to override the logic used by the `Request` and `APIRoute` classes.

In particular, this may be a good alternative to logic in a middleware.

For example, if you want to read or manipulate the request body before it is processed by your application.

This is an "advanced" feature.

If you are just starting with **FastAPI** you might want to skip this section.

you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her
lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a VERY good
opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to
listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) `--yes,
that's about the right distance--but then I wonder what Latitude
or Longitude I've got to?'  (Alice had no idea what Latitude was,

### When Things are Difficult

When things are great, everything is easier, so that doesn't need much instructions. But when things are difficult, here are some guidelines.

  - Fixing or improving documentation.
  - Improvements to Maven configuration.

Guidelines for any code contributions:

  1. Any significant changes should be accompanied by tests. The project already
     has good test coverage, so look at some existing tests if you're unsure
     how to go about it.
  2. All contributions must be licensed Apache 2.0 and all files must have a

   * <p><b>Note:</b> When implementing an escaper it is a good idea to override this method for

   and act with empathy. Do not turn disagreements into personal attacks.

 * **Be collaborative**: Collaboration reduces redundancy and improves the quality of our work. We
