All the same process that applied for path parameters also applies for query parameters:

* Editor support (obviously)
* Data <abbr title="converting the string that comes from an HTTP request into Python data">"parsing"</abbr>
* Data validation
* Automatic documentation

## Defaults

As query parameters are not a fixed part of a path, they can be optional and can have default values.

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

    **FastAPI** provides the same `starlette.status` as `fastapi.status` just as a convenience for you, the developer. But it comes directly from Starlette.

## Tags

You can add tags to your *path operation*, pass the parameter `tags` with a `list` of `str` (commonly just one `str`):

    You could also use `from starlette.websockets import WebSocket`.

    **FastAPI** provides the same `WebSocket` directly just as a convenience for you, the developer. But it comes directly from Starlette.

## Await for messages and send messages

In your WebSocket route you can `await` for messages and send messages.
