# FastAPI and Pydantic - Intro
|
|
|
|
One of the use cases where **SQLModel** shines the most, and the main one why it was built, was to be combined with **FastAPI**. ✨
|
|
|
|
<a href="https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/" class="external-link" target="_blank">FastAPI</a> is a Python web framework for building web APIs created by the same <a href="https://twitter.com/tiangolo" class="external-link" target="_blank">author</a> of SQLModel. FastAPI is also built on top of **Pydantic**.
|
|
|
|
In this group of chapters we will see how to combine SQLModel **table models** representing tables in the SQL database as all the ones we have seen up to now, with **data models** that only represent data (which are actually just Pydantic models behind the scenes).
|
|
|
|
Being able to combine SQLModel **table** models with pure **data** models would be useful on its own, but to make all the examples more concrete, we will use them with **FastAPI**.
|
|
|
|
By the end we will have a **simple** but **complete** web **API** to interact with the data in the database. 🎉

## Learning FastAPI
|
|
|
|
If you have never used FastAPI, maybe a good idea would be to go and study it a bit before continuing.
|
|
|
|
Just reading and trying the examples on the <a href="https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/" class="external-link" target="_blank">FastAPI main page</a> should be enough, and it shouldn't take you more than **10 minutes**.
