////

In both cases this means that `item` could be an `int` or a `str`.

#### Possibly `None` { #possibly-none }

You can declare that a value could have a type, like `str`, but that it could also be `None`.

In Python 3.6 and above (including Python 3.10) you can declare it by importing and using `Optional` from the `typing` module.

Das bedeutet, dass es **immer einen Wert** hat, der Wert kann jedoch manchmal `None` sein (oder `null` in JSON).

Das bedeutet, dass Clients, die Ihre API verwenden, nicht prüfen müssen, ob der Wert vorhanden ist oder nicht. Sie können davon ausgehen, dass das Feld immer vorhanden ist. In einigen Fällen hat es jedoch nur den Defaultwert `None`.

</div>

Esto significa que **siempre tendrá un valor**, solo que a veces el valor podría ser `None` (o `null` en JSON).

Eso significa que, los clientes que usan tu API no tienen que comprobar si el valor existe o no, pueden **asumir que el campo siempre estará allí**, pero solo que en algunos casos tendrá el valor por defecto de `None`.

La forma de describir esto en OpenAPI es marcar ese campo como **requerido**, porque siempre estará allí.
