    ---> 100%

    ...or any other ASGI server.

## Run the Server Program

If you installed an ASGI server manually, you would normally need to pass an import string in a special format for it to import your FastAPI application:

=== "Uvicorn"

    <div class="termy">

    ```console

# Alternatives, Inspiration and Comparisons

What inspired **FastAPI**, how it compares to alternatives and what it learned from them.

## Intro

**FastAPI** wouldn't exist if not for the previous work of others.

There have been many tools created before that have helped inspire its creation.

OpenAPI defines an API schema for your API. And that schema includes definitions (or "schemas") of the data sent and received by your API using **JSON Schema**, the standard for JSON data schemas.

#### Check the `openapi.json`

If you are curious about how the raw OpenAPI schema looks like, FastAPI automatically generates a JSON (schema) with the descriptions of all your API.
