+"Thank you for your work on `fasthx`, as well as `htmy`! I've never had an easier time developing with another stack." ([ref](https://github.com/volfpeter/fasthx/discussions/77))

+"One of the main parts of the `FastAPI` -> `fasthx` -> `htmy` integration I'm falling in love with is its explicitness, and not too much magic happening." ([ref](https://github.com/volfpeter/fasthx/issues/54))

-Interally, FastHX decorators always have access to the decorated route's result, all of its arguments (sometimes called the request context), and the current request. Integrations convert these values into data that can be consumed by the used rendering engine (for example `htmy` or `jinja`), run the rendering engine with the selected component (more on this below) and the created data, and return the result to the client. For more details on how data conversion works and how it can be customized, please see the API documentation of the rendering engine integration of your choice.

 The `ComponentSelector` abstraction makes it possible to declaratively specify and dynamically select the component that should be used to render the response to a given request. It is also possible to define an "error" `ComponentSelector` that is used if the decorated route raises an exception -- a typical use-case being error rendering for incorrect user input.
