`PATCH` is less commonly used and known than `PUT`.

And many teams use only `PUT`, even for partial updates.

You are **free** to use them however you want, **FastAPI** doesn't impose any restrictions.

But this guide shows you, more or less, how they are intended to be used.

### Using Pydantic's `exclude_unset` parameter { #using-pydantics-exclude-unset-parameter }

 * names to avoid confusing characters. This includes basic case folding: transforming shouting
 * `SQUARE.COM` into cool and casual `square.com`. It also handles more exotic characters. For
 * example, the Unicode trademark sign (™) could be confused for the letters "TM" in
 * `http://ho™ail.com`. To mitigate this, the single character (™) maps to the string (tm). There

    purposes of this definition, "control" means (a) the power, direct
    or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity,
    whether by contract or otherwise, or (b) ownership of more than
    fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares or beneficial
    ownership of such entity.
