Welcome to the Fast API repository and related projects! We're excited to introduce you to our API framework and the ecosystem of tools and projects built around it. Fast API is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints.
Fast API is designed to help you create robust, efficient APIs quickly and easily. Whether you're building a simple RESTful API or a complex WebSocket application, Fast API provides the tools and performance you need. With its automatic validation, documentation generation, and support for asynchronous programming, it's a top choice for developers.
- Fast: Utilizes the power of modern Python for high performance.
- Easy: Simple and intuitive to use, reducing development time.
- Type Hinting: Leverages Python type hints for automatic data validation.
- AutoDocs: Automatically generates interactive API documentation.
- Async Support: Full support for asynchronous programming.
- WebSocket: Built-in support for WebSocket applications.
- Security: Offers features for secure, production-ready APIs.
- Extensible: Easily extend Fast API with custom components.
- Ecosystem: Explore related projects for additional functionality.
To start using Fast API, follow these steps:
