* `alias`
* `title`
* `description`
* `deprecated`

Validations specific for strings:

* `min_length`
* `max_length`
* `pattern`

In these examples you saw how to declare validations for `str` values.

          case STOPPING:
          case TERMINATED:
          case FAILED:
            // These cases are impossible due to the if statement above.
            throw new AssertionError("isStoppable is incorrectly implemented, saw: " + previous);
        }
      } catch (Throwable shutdownFailure) {
        restoreInterruptIfIsInterruptedException(shutdownFailure);
        notifyFailed(shutdownFailure);
      } finally {

    }
    cache.invalidateAll();
    tasksFinished.await();

    // Check all of the removal notifications we received: they should have had correctly-associated
    // keys and values. (An earlier bug saw removal notifications for in-progress computations,
    // which had real keys with null values.)
    Map<String, String> removalNotifications = Maps.newHashMap();

Now you know that you have to fix it, convert `age` to a string with `str(age)`:

## Declaring types

You just saw the main place to declare type hints. As function parameters.

This is also the main place you would use them with **FastAPI**.

### Simple types

You can declare all the standard Python types, not only `str`.

## Security - HTTPS

In the [previous chapter about HTTPS](https.md){.internal-link target=_blank} we learned about how HTTPS provides encryption for your API.

We also saw that HTTPS is normally provided by a component **external** to your application server, a **TLS Termination Proxy**.

    val elapsedUntilFailure = System.nanoTime() - closeAtNanos
    assertThat(TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS.toMillis(elapsedUntilFailure).toDouble())
      .isCloseTo(500.0, 250.0)

    // Close the server and confirm it saw what we expected.
    server.close(1000, null)
    serverListener.assertClosed(1000, "goodbye")
  }

  @Test
  fun webSocketsDontTriggerEventListener() {
    val listener = RecordingEventListener()

## Version 5.0.0-alpha.6

_2022-03-14_

 *  Fix: Don't attempt to close pooled connections. We saw occasional fast fallback calls crash in
    the previous alpha due to an unexpected race.


## Version 5.0.0-alpha.5

_2022-02-21_

It was one of the first implementations of a framework using Python type hints to declare parameters and requests that I ever saw (before NestJS and Molten). I found it more or less at the same time as Hug. But APIStar used the OpenAPI standard.
