Some editors check for unused function parameters, and show them as errors.

    Using these `dependencies` in the *path operation decorator* you can make sure they are executed while avoiding editor/tooling errors.

    It might also help avoid confusion for new developers that see an unused parameter in your code and could think it's unnecessary.

!!! info
    In this example we use invented custom headers `X-Key` and `X-Token`.

        Please add a self-contained, [minimal, reproducible, example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example) with your use case.

        If I (or someone) can copy it, run it, and see it right away, there's a much higher chance I (or someone) will be able to help you.

      placeholder: |
        from fastapi import FastAPI

        app = FastAPI()


        @app.get("/")
        def read_root():

```Python
UserInDB(
    username="john",
    password="secret",
    email="******@****.***",
    full_name=None,
)
```

Or more exactly, using `user_dict` directly, with whatever contents it might have in the future:

```Python
UserInDB(
    username = user_dict["username"],
    password = user_dict["password"],
    email = user_dict["email"],
    full_name = user_dict["full_name"],
)
```

Here I'm also highlighting contributions from sponsors.

And then, right after the `yield`, we unload the model. This code will be executed **after** the application **finishes handling requests**, right before the *shutdown*. This could, for example, release resources like memory or a GPU.

!!! tip

This includes, for example:

* Email notifications sent after performing an action:
    * As connecting to an email server and sending an email tends to be "slow" (several seconds), you can return the response right away and send the email notification in the background.
* Processing data:

The benefit of raising an exception over `return`ing a value will be more evident in the section about Dependencies and Security.

# Global Dependencies

For some types of applications you might want to add dependencies to the whole application.

Similar to the way you can [add `dependencies` to the *path operation decorators*](dependencies-in-path-operation-decorators.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, you can add them to the `FastAPI` application.

In that case, they will be applied to all the *path operations* in the application:

# JSON Compatible Encoder

There are some cases where you might need to convert a data type (like a Pydantic model) to something compatible with JSON (like a `dict`, `list`, etc).

For example, if you need to store it in a database.

For that, **FastAPI** provides a `jsonable_encoder()` function.

## Using the `jsonable_encoder`

Let's imagine that you have a database `fake_db` that only receives JSON compatible data.

!!! check "Authorize button!"
    You already have a shiny new "Authorize" button.

    And your *path operation* has a little lock in the top-right corner that you can click.

And if you click it, you have a little authorization form to type a `username` and `password` (and other optional fields):
