📚 A repository to learn and explore the basics of FastAPI, a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints.
This repository serves as an educational resource to:
- Understand the foundational structure of a FastAPI application.
- Experiment with creating routes, handling requests, and managing responses.
- Learn how FastAPI leverages Python's type hints for auto-generated documentation and validation.
-
Hello World Application:
- Demonstrates the basic setup of a FastAPI project.
- Includes a simple endpoint to get started.
-
Beginner-Friendly:
