### Bigger Errors - Crashes { #bigger-errors-crashes }

Nevertheless, there might be cases where we write some code that **crashes the entire application** making Uvicorn and Python crash. 💥

And still, you would probably not want the application to stay dead because there was an error in one place, you probably want it to **continue running** at least for the *path operations* that are not broken.

    }
    entry = cacheEntry2;
    if (entry != null && entry.key == key) {
      // Promote second cache entry to first so the access pattern
      // [K1, K2, K1, K3, K1, K4...] still hits the cache half the time.
      addToCache(entry);
      return entry.value;
    }
    return null;
  }

  @Override
  void clearCache() {
    super.clearCache();
    cacheEntry1 = null;

    cache["k1"]!!.use { snapshot1 ->
      cache.remove("k1")

      assertThat(readFileOrNull(getCleanFile("k1", 0))).isEqualTo(afterRemoveFileContents)
      assertThat(readFileOrNull(getDirtyFile("k1", 0))).isNull()

      // On Windows files still exist with open with 1 open source.
      snapshot1.assertValue(0, "a")

    * If you didn't use FastAPI and used Starlette directly (or another tool, like Sanic, Flask, Responder, etc) you would have to implement all the data validation and serialization yourself. So, your final application would still have the same overhead as if it was built using FastAPI. And in many cases, this data validation and serialization is the biggest amount of code written in applications.

# Extra Data Types { #extra-data-types }

Up to now, you have been using common data types, like:

* `int`
* `float`
* `str`
* `bool`

But you can also use more complex data types.

And you will still have the same features as seen up to now:

* Great editor support.
* Data conversion from incoming requests.
* Data conversion for response data.
* Data validation.
* Automatic annotation and documentation.

In some cases you don't really need the return value of a dependency inside your *path operation function*.

Or the dependency doesn't return a value.

But you still need it to be executed/solved.

For those cases, instead of declaring a *path operation function* parameter with `Depends`, you can add a `list` of `dependencies` to the *path operation decorator*.

OpenAPI doesn't support a way to declare a *path parameter* to contain a *path* inside, as that could lead to scenarios that are difficult to test and define.

Nevertheless, you can still do it in **FastAPI**, using one of the internal tools from Starlette.

And the docs would still work, although not adding any documentation telling that the parameter should contain a path.
