### Short

It has sensible **defaults** for everything, with optional configurations everywhere. All the parameters can be fine-tuned to do what you need and to define the API you need.

But by default, it all **"just works"**.

### Validation

* Validation for most (or all?) Python **data types**, including:

By default, `fastapi dev` will start with auto-reload enabled for local development.

You can read more about it in the <a href="https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/fastapi-cli/" target="_blank">FastAPI CLI docs</a>.

</details>

### Check it

When a **container** is started, it will run that command/program (although you can override it and make it run a different command/program).

A container is running as long as the **main process** (command or program) is running.

In the case of our dependency `get_settings()`, the function doesn't even take any arguments, so it always returns the same value.

That way, it behaves almost as if it was just a global variable. But as it uses a dependency function, then we can override it easily for testing.

By default, `fastapi dev` will start with auto-reload enabled for local development.

It is **HIGHLY encouraged** that you write or copy the code, edit it and run it locally.

Using it in your editor is what really shows you the benefits of FastAPI, seeing how little code you have to write, all the type checks, autocompletion, etc.

## Install FastAPI

For that, you can use the `WSGIMiddleware` and use it to wrap your WSGI application, for example, Flask, Django, etc.

## Using `WSGIMiddleware`

You need to import `WSGIMiddleware`.

Then wrap the WSGI (e.g. Flask) app with the middleware.

And then mount that under a path.
