## Reduce duplication

Reducing code duplication is one of the core ideas in **FastAPI**.

As code duplication increments the chances of bugs, security issues, code desynchronization issues (when you update in one place but not in the others), etc.

And these models are all sharing a lot of the data and duplicating attribute names and types.

As, by default, singular values are interpreted as query parameters, you don't have to explicitly add a `Query`, you can just do:

```Python
q: Union[str, None] = None
```

Or in Python 3.10 and above:

```Python
q: str | None = None
```

For example:

//// tab | Python 3.10+

```Python hl_lines="28"
{!> ../../docs_src/body_multiple_params/tutorial004_an_py310.py!}
```

     *
     * @param value The configuration value to preprocess, must not be {@code null}.
     * @param type The target type of the value, may be {@code null}.
     * @return The processed configuration value or {@code null} if none.
     * @throws BeanConfigurationException If an error occurred while preprocessing the value.

## Retrying Requests

Sometimes connections fail: either a pooled connection was stale and disconnected, or the webserver itself couldn’t be reached. OkHttp will retry the request with a different route if one is available.
