+
+                * Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at `/docs`) will
+                    show it as the response (JSON Schema).
+                * Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the
+                    `response_model` would be used to serialize that object into the
+                    corresponding JSON.
+                * Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data
+                    (fields) defined in the `response_model`. If you returned an object
+                    that contains an attribute `password` but the `response_model` does
+                    not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have
+                    that `password`.
+                * Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the
+                    `response_model`, converting any data as necessary to generate the
+                    corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not
+                    valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client,
+                    so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an

+

+
+                * Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at `/docs`) will
+                    show it as the response (JSON Schema).
+                * Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the
+                    `response_model` would be used to serialize that object into the
+                    corresponding JSON.
+                * Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data
+                    (fields) defined in the `response_model`. If you returned an object
+                    that contains an attribute `password` but the `response_model` does
+                    not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have
+                    that `password`.
+                * Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the
+                    `response_model`, converting any data as necessary to generate the
+                    corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not
+                    valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client,
+                    so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an
