In the next chapters, I'll give you more **concrete recipes** to deploy FastAPI applications.

But for now, let's check these important **conceptual ideas**. These concepts also apply to any other type of web API. 💡

## Security - HTTPS { #security-https }

   *
   * <p><i>Notes:</i> This is an implementation of the algorithm for Lexicographical Permutations
   * Generation, described in Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming", Volume 4, Chapter 7,
   * Section 7.2.1.2. The iteration order follows the lexicographical order. This means that the
   * first permutation will be in ascending order, and the last will be in descending order.
   *

To see all the options you have, checkout <a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/types/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Pydantic's Type Overview</a>. You will see some examples in the next chapter.

For example, as in the `Image` model we have a `url` field, we can declare it to be an instance of Pydantic's `HttpUrl` instead of a `str`:

{* ../../docs_src/body_nested_models/tutorial005_py310.py hl[2,8] *}

And that function takes parameters in the same way that *path operation functions* do.

/// tip

You'll see what other "things", apart from functions, can be used as dependencies in the next chapter.

///

Whenever a new request arrives, **FastAPI** will take care of:

* Calling your dependency ("dependable") function with the correct parameters.
* Get the result from your function.

That defines the metadata about the main response of a *path operation*.

You can also declare additional responses with their models, status codes, etc.

There's a whole chapter here in the documentation about it, you can read it at [Additional Responses in OpenAPI](additional-responses.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

## OpenAPI Extra { #openapi-extra }

  `Take off your hat,' the King said to the Hatter.

  `It isn't mine,' said the Hatter.

  `Stolen!' the King exclaimed, turning to the jury, who
instantly made a memorandum of the fact.

  `I keep them to sell,' the Hatter added as an explanation;
`I've none of my own.  I'm a hatter.'

  Here the Queen put on her spectacles, and began staring at the
Hatter, who turned pale and fidgeted.

This code is something you can actually use in your application, save the password hashes in your database, etc.

We are going to start from where we left in the previous chapter and increment it.

## About JWT { #about-jwt }

JWT means "JSON Web Tokens".

It's a standard to codify a JSON object in a long dense string without spaces. It looks like this:

```

But even if you never use **FastAPI**, you would benefit from learning a bit about them.

/// note

If you are a Python expert, and you already know everything about type hints, skip to the next chapter.

## Motivation { #motivation }

Let's start with a simple example:

{* ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial001_py39.py *}

Calling this program outputs:

```
John Doe
```

En déclarant les types de vos variables, cela permet aux différents outils comme les éditeurs de texte d'offrir un meilleur support.

Ce chapitre n'est qu'un **tutoriel rapide / rappel** sur les annotations de type Python.
Seulement le minimum nécessaire pour les utiliser avec **FastAPI** sera couvert... ce qui est en réalité très peu.

    assertTrue(adapter.matchesSocket(sslSocket))

    adapter.configureTlsExtensions(sslSocket, null, listOf(HTTP_2, HTTP_1_1))
    // not connected
    assertNull(adapter.getSelectedProtocol(sslSocket))
  }

  @Test
  fun testMatchesSupportedAndroidSocketFactory() {
    assumeTrue(adapter is StandardAndroidSocketAdapter)

    assertTrue(adapter.matchesSocketFactory(context.socketFactory))
