**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.

And you can use directly many well maintained and widely used packages like `passlib` and `python-jose`, because **FastAPI** doesn't require any complex mechanisms to integrate external packages.

* A particular program while it is **running** on the operating system.
    * This doesn't refer to the file, nor to the code, it refers **specifically** to the thing that is being **executed** and managed by the operating system.

=== "Python 3.8+"

    ```Python hl_lines="24"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/response_model/tutorial003.py!}
    ```

...we declared the `response_model` to be our model `UserOut`, that doesn't include the password:

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="22"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/response_model/tutorial003_py310.py!}
    ```

=== "Python 3.8+"

    ```Python hl_lines="22"

For that, **FastAPI** provides a `jsonable_encoder()` function.

## Using the `jsonable_encoder`

Let's imagine that you have a database `fake_db` that only receives JSON compatible data.

For example, it doesn't receive `datetime` objects, as those are not compatible with JSON.

    #     lastname: str = Form(

    #             "example2": {"value": "Doesn't"},
    #         },
    #     ),
    # ):
    #     return lastname

    # @app.post("/form_example_examples")

    Peewee is not recommended with FastAPI as it doesn't play well with anything async Python. There are several better alternatives.

!!! info
    These docs assume Pydantic v1.

    Because Pewee doesn't play well with anything async and there are better alternatives, I won't update these docs for Pydantic v2, they are kept for now only for historical purposes.
