/// check

Notice that the value your function received (and returned) is `3`, as a Python `int`, not a string `"3"`.

So, with that type declaration, **FastAPI** gives you automatic request <abbr title="converting the string that comes from an HTTP request into Python data">"parsing"</abbr>.

## Data validation

  public void testBigToDouble() {
    for (BigInteger b : ALL_BIGINTEGER_CANDIDATES) {
      if (b.doubleValue() != DoubleUtils.bigToDouble(b)) {
        failFormat(
            "Converting %s to double: expected doubleValue %s but got bigToDouble %s",
            b, b.doubleValue(), DoubleUtils.bigToDouble(b));
      }
    }
  }

  public void testEnsureNonNegative() {

Taking data from:

* The path as parameters.
* Headers.
* Cookies.
* etc.

And by doing so, **FastAPI** is validating that data, converting it and generating documentation for your API automatically.

But there are situations where you might need to access the `Request` object directly.

## Details about the `Request` object

    val cookie = cookies[0]
    assertThat(cookie.name).isEqualTo("a")
    assertThat(cookie.value).isEqualTo("android")
    assertThat(cookie.commentURL).isNull()
    assertThat(cookie.discard).isFalse()
    // Converting to a fixed date can cause rounding!
    assertThat(cookie.maxAge.toDouble()).isCloseTo(60.0, 5.0)
    assertThat(cookie.path).isEqualTo("/path")
    assertThat(cookie.secure).isTrue()
  }

## Recap

Declare headers with `Header`, using the same common pattern as `Query`, `Path` and `Cookie`.

# functionality instead.
tfrun() { "$@"; }

if [[ `uname -s | grep -P '^MSYS_NT'` ]]; then
  source ./ci/official/utilities/windows.sh
  echo 'Converting MSYS Linux-like paths to Windows paths (for Docker, Python, etc.)'
  source <(python ./ci/official/utilities/convert_msys_paths_to_win_paths.py --whitelist-prefix TFCI_)
fi

    In this case, it's a list of `Item` dataclasses.

6. Here we are returning a dictionary that contains `items` which is a list of dataclasses.

    FastAPI is still capable of <abbr title="converting the data to a format that can be transmitted">serializing</abbr> the data to JSON.

7. Here the `response_model` is using a type annotation of a list of `Author` dataclasses.
