Skip to main contentFastAPI is a modern, high-performance web framework for building APIs with Python. It is designed for speed, ease of use, and automatic validation, leveraging Python type hints to generate interactive API documentation and ensure data correctness. FastAPI supports asynchronous programming, making it ideal for handling high-concurrency applications, while integrating easily with databases, authentication systems, and other web technologies.
