```JSON
{
    "message": "Hello World",
    "root_path": "/api/v1"
}
```

So, it won't expect to be accessed at `http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/app`.

If an incoming request does not validate correctly then a `400` response will be sent.

## `GZipMiddleware`

Handles GZip responses for any request that includes `"gzip"` in the `Accept-Encoding` header.

The middleware will handle both standard and streaming responses.

```Python hl_lines="2  6"
{!../../../docs_src/advanced_middleware/tutorial003.py!}
```

You will see the JSON response as:

```JSON
{"message": "Hello World"}
```

### Interactive API docs

Now go to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs</a>.

Specifically, to see Uvicorn, Starlette and FastAPI compared together (among many other tools).

The simpler the problem solved by the tool, the better performance it will get. And most of the benchmarks don't test the additional features provided by the tool.

The hierarchy is like:

* **Uvicorn**: an ASGI server
    * **Starlette**: (uses Uvicorn) a web microframework

You can read more about this in the [Advanced User Guide](../advanced/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

## Details

The first `"/static"` refers to the sub-path this "sub-application" will be "mounted" on. So, any path that starts with `"/static"` will be handled by it.

The `directory="static"` refers to the name of the directory that contains your static files.

The `name="static"` gives it a name that can be used internally by **FastAPI**.

You can also use `dataclasses` in the `response_model` parameter:

```Python hl_lines="1  7-13  19"
{!../../../docs_src/dataclasses/tutorial002.py!}
```

The dataclass will be automatically converted to a Pydantic dataclass.

This way, its schema will show up in the API docs user interface:

## Dataclasses in Nested Data Structures

Let's create a dependency `get_current_user`.

Remember that dependencies can have sub-dependencies?

`get_current_user` will have a dependency with the same `oauth2_scheme` we created before.

The same as we were doing before in the *path operation* directly, our new dependency `get_current_user` will receive a `token` as a `str` from the sub-dependency `oauth2_scheme`:

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="25"

) -> Union[DefaultPlaceholder, DefaultType]:
    """
    Pass items or `DefaultPlaceholder`s by descending priority.

    The first one to _not_ be a `DefaultPlaceholder` will be returned.

    Otherwise, the first item (a `DefaultPlaceholder`) will be returned.
    """
    items = (first_item,) + extra_items
    for item in items:
        if not isinstance(item, DefaultPlaceholder):
            return item

# How To - Recipes

Here you will see different recipes or "how to" guides for **several topics**.

Most of these ideas would be more or less **independent**, and in most cases you should only need to study them if they apply directly to **your project**.

If something seems interesting and useful to your project, go ahead and check it, but otherwise, you might probably just skip them.

!!! tip

    !!! tip
        By adding the `standard`, Uvicorn will install and use some recommended extra dependencies.

        That including `uvloop`, the high-performance drop-in replacement for `asyncio`, that provides the big concurrency performance boost.

        When you install FastAPI with something like `pip install fastapi` you already get `uvicorn[standard]` as well.
