FastAPI architecture explained
Modern, fast web framework for building APIs with Python. This page explains the architecture RepoLens read from tiangolo/fastapi at ed39e8b. It is a static, deterministic scan: modules, files, and the document set. No API key is used.
Code health for this snapshot is 89 / 100.

How the code is grouped
FastAPI is scanned as Python under its public license (MIT). RepoLens groups files into modules from the repository layout, then writes the same document set it writes for a local project.
