        #### Utility: compare with alternatives


        There is always *some* alternative to adding a new feature to Guava, even if it's just
        forking Guava yourself.


        We want to see that new features have some significant advantage over the alternatives.
        These advantages can take

    "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz",
    // RFC 850, obsoleted by RFC 1036 with any TZ.
    "EEEE, dd-MMM-yy HH:mm:ss zzz",
    // ANSI C's asctime() format
    "EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss yyyy",
    // Alternative formats:
    "EEE, dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss z",
    "EEE, dd-MMM-yyyy HH-mm-ss z",
    "EEE, dd MMM yy HH:mm:ss z",
    "EEE dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss z",
    "EEE dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z",
    "EEE dd-MMM-yyyy HH-mm-ss z",

#### `Union` oder `Optional` verwenden?

# Custom Request and APIRoute class

In some cases, you may want to override the logic used by the `Request` and `APIRoute` classes.

In particular, this may be a good alternative to logic in a middleware.

For example, if you want to read or manipulate the request body before it is processed by your application.

This is an "advanced" feature.

If you are just starting with **FastAPI** you might want to skip this section.
