# Stream Data { #stream-data }

If you want to stream data that can be structured as JSON, you should [Stream JSON Lines](../tutorial/stream-json-lines.md).

But if you want to **stream pure binary data** or strings, here's how you can do it.

/// info

Added in FastAPI 0.134.0.

///

## Use Cases { #use-cases }

You could use this if you want to stream pure strings, for example directly from the output of an **AI LLM** service.

      if (compareAndSet(currentRunner, blocker)) {
        // Thread.interrupt can throw arbitrary exceptions due to the nio InterruptibleChannel API
        // This will make sure that tasks don't get stuck busy waiting.
        // Some of this is fixed in jdk11 (see https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8198692) but
        // not all.  See the test cases for examples on how this can happen.
        try {
          ((Thread) currentRunner).interrupt();

   * higher value than you need can waste space and time, and a significantly lower value can lead
   * to thread contention. But overestimates and underestimates within an order of magnitude do not
   * usually have much noticeable impact. A value of one permits only one thread to modify the cache
   * at a time, but since read operations and cache loading computations can proceed concurrently,

We can do better...

## What makes a dependency { #what-makes-a-dependency }

Up to now you have seen dependencies declared as functions.

But that's not the only way to declare dependencies (although it would probably be the more common).

The key factor is that a dependency should be a "callable".

A "**callable**" in Python is anything that Python can "call" like a function.

    /**
     * Gets the decrypted proxies.
     *
     * @return The decrypted proxy, can be empty but never {@code null}.
     */
    List<Proxy> getProxies();

    /**
     * Gets the problems that were encountered during the settings decryption.
     *
     * @return The problems that were encountered during the decryption, can be empty but never {@code null}.
     */
    List<SettingsProblem> getProblems();

`uv` can do a lot of things, it can:

* **Install Python** for you, including different versions
* Manage the **virtual environment** for your projects
* Install **packages**
* Manage package **dependencies and versions** for your project

memory or some of the containers will fail to start. You can tell that you
are short of memory if containers are exiting quickly after starting with
code 137 (128 + 9, where 9 means SIGKILL).

== Testing the REST layer

The REST layer is tested through specific tests that are executed against
a cluster that is configured and initialized via Gradle. The tests
themselves can be written in either Java or with a YAML based DSL.

## Run your code with your debugger { #run-your-code-with-your-debugger }

Because you are running the Uvicorn server directly from your code, you can call your Python program (your FastAPI application) directly from the debugger.

---

For example, in Visual Studio Code, you can:

* Go to the "Debug" panel.
* "Add configuration...".
* Select "Python"

# Middleware { #middleware }

You can add middleware to **FastAPI** applications.

A "middleware" is a function that works with every **request** before it is processed by any specific *path operation*. And also with every **response** before returning it.

* It takes each **request** that comes to your application.
* It can then do something to that **request** or run any needed code.

    # o targetProcedureNameList: (NotRequired - Default list:{})
    #  You can specify target name of generated parameter bean for procedure.
    #  This property is valid only when isGenerateProcedureParameterBean is valid.
    #   e.g. list:{prefix:SP_}
    #  And you can specify procedures through DB link.
    #  This is treated as additional setting
