## Returning a custom `Response` { #returning-a-custom-response }

The example above shows all the parts you need, but it's not very useful yet, as you could have just returned the `item` directly, and **FastAPI** would put it in a `JSONResponse` for you, converting it to a `dict`, etc. All that by default.

Now, let's see how you could use that to return a custom response.

        assertEquals(2, resources.size(), "Should have two resources now");

        // Find the resource with the custom directory
        Resource customResource = resources.stream()
                .filter(r -> r.getDirectory().endsWith("custom"))
                .findFirst()
                .orElseThrow(() -> new AssertionError("Custom resource not found"));

        // Verify targetPath was preserved through conversion chain

class UJSONResponse(JSONResponse):
    """
    JSON response using the high-performance ujson library to serialize data to JSON.
