* So, by using FastAPI you are saving development time, bugs, lines of code, and you would probably get the same performance (or better) you would if you didn't use it (as you would have to implement it all in your code).

# Path Parameters and Numeric Validations { #path-parameters-and-numeric-validations }

In the same way that you can declare more validations and metadata for query parameters with `Query`, you can declare the same type of validations and metadata for path parameters with `Path`.

## Import `Path` { #import-path }

First, import `Path` from `fastapi`, and import `Annotated`:

{* ../../docs_src/path_params_numeric_validations/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[1,3] *}

        String superClassName = classMetaData.getSuperClassName();
        if (superClassName != null && !superClassName.equals("org.gradle.api.DefaultTask")) {
            // Assume this is a class and so has implemented all properties and methods somewhere in the superclass hierarchy
            ClassDoc superClass = model.getClassDoc(superClassName);
            classDoc.setSuperClass(superClass);

This will be especially useful when you use it in a **large code base** where you use **the same dependencies** over and over again in **many *path operations***.

## To `async` or not to `async` { #to-async-or-not-to-async }

As dependencies will also be called by **FastAPI** (the same as your *path operation functions*), the same rules apply while defining your functions.

///

And we are using this model to declare our input and the same model to declare our output:

{* ../../docs_src/response_model/tutorial002_py310.py hl[16] *}

Now, whenever a browser is creating a user with a password, the API will return the same password in the response.

In this case, it might not be a problem, because it's the same user sending the password.

 * supplied object is the root. Expressions like 'child.name' will translate into
 * 'rootObject.getChild().getName()' for non-boolean properties, and
 * 'rootObject.getChild().isName()' for boolean properties.
 *
 * @deprecated use {@code org.apache.maven.api.services.ModelBuilder} instead

This is the same mechanism used when you give permissions while logging in with Facebook, Google, GitHub, etc:

Now, modify the token *path operation* to return the scopes requested.
