FastAPI has rapidly emerged as a leading Python framework for building APIs, offering a blend of speed, simplicity, and robustness. Its design caters to both seasoned developers and those new to API development, making it an excellent choice for creating efficient and scalable applications. KeyCloak generates REST and GrqphQL endpoints on the shoulders of FastAPI with no-code or low-code approaaches.
Key Features of FastAPI #
1. High Performance
FastAPI is one of the fastest Python frameworks available, comparable to Node.js and Go. This performance is achieved through its asynchronous capabilities and efficient code execution.
2. Automatic Interactive API Documentation
FastAPI automatically generates interactive API documentation using Swagger UI and ReDoc. This feature allows developers to visualize and test endpoints effortlessly.
3. Data Validation and Serialization
Leveraging Pydantic, FastAPI ensures data validation and serialization based on Python type hints. This approach reduces errors and enhances code readability.
4. Dependency Injection System
FastAPI’s dependency injection system simplifies the management of components like database connections and authentication. This design promotes modular and maintainable codebases.
5. Asynchronous Support
Built on Starlette, FastAPI supports asynchronous programming, enabling the handling of numerous requests concurrently. This capability is crucial for applications requiring high throughput.
