Thanks to <a href="https://www.starlette.io/testclient/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Starlette</a>, testing **FastAPI** applications is easy and enjoyable.

It is based on <a href="https://www.python-httpx.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">HTTPX</a>, which in turn is designed based on Requests, so it's very familiar and intuitive.

MockWebServer
=============

A scriptable web server for testing HTTP clients


### Motivation

This library makes it easy to test that your app Does The Right Thing when it
makes HTTP and HTTPS calls. It lets you specify which responses to return and
then verify that requests were made as expected.

Because it exercises your full HTTP stack, you can be confident that you're

By using a pre-made container image it's very easy to **combine** and use different tools. For example, to try out a new database. In most cases, you can use the **official images**, and just configure them with environment variables.

# Generating SDKs { #generating-sdks }

Because **FastAPI** is based on the **OpenAPI** specification, its APIs can be described in a standard format that many tools understand.

This makes it easy to generate up-to-date **documentation**, client libraries (<abbr title="Software Development Kits">**SDKs**</abbr>) in multiple languages, and **testing** or **automation workflows** that stay in sync with your code.

centers. OkHttp supports modern TLS features (TLS 1.3, ALPN, certificate pinning). It can be
configured to fall back for broad connectivity.

Using OkHttp is easy. Its request/response API is designed with fluent builders and immutability. It
supports both synchronous blocking calls and async calls with callbacks.

- **Template Method** - Resource traversal utilities with customizable handlers
- **Utility Classes** - All core functionality exposed through static utility methods for easy access

### Performance Optimizations
- **Caching** - Bean descriptors and reflection metadata are cached for improved performance
