FastAPI

Introduction

FastAPI is a modern, high-performance web framework for building APIs using Python. Designed with efficiency and developer productivity in mind, it takes full advantage of Python’s type hints to provide automatic validation, serialization, and robust error handling. FastAPI is particularly well-suited for building RESTful APIs, microservices, and backend services for real-time applications.
