# Body - Fields

The same way you can declare additional validation and metadata in *path operation function* parameters with `Query`, `Path` and `Body`, you can declare validation and metadata inside of Pydantic models using Pydantic's `Field`.

## Import `Field`

First, you have to import it:

=== "Python 3.6 and above"

    ```Python hl_lines="4"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/body_fields/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

=== "Python 3.10 and above"

    ```Python hl_lines="2"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/body_fields/tutorial001_py310.py!}
    ```

!!! warning
    Notice that `Field` is imported directly from `pydantic`, not from `fastapi` as are all the rest (`Query`, `Path`, `Body`, etc).

## Declare model attributes

You can then use `Field` with model attributes:

=== "Python 3.6 and above"

    ```Python hl_lines="11-14"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/body_fields/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

=== "Python 3.10 and above"

    ```Python hl_lines="9-12"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/body_fields/tutorial001_py310.py!}
    ```

`Field` works the same way as `Query`, `Path` and `Body`, it has all the same parameters, etc.

!!! note "Technical Details"
    Actually, `Query`, `Path` and others you'll see next create objects of subclasses of a common `Param` class, which is itself a subclass of Pydantic's `FieldInfo` class.

    And Pydantic's `Field` returns an instance of `FieldInfo` as well.

    `Body` also returns objects of a subclass of `FieldInfo` directly. And there are others you will see later that are subclasses of the `Body` class.

    Remember that when you import `Query`, `Path`, and others from `fastapi`, those are actually functions that return special classes.

!!! tip
    Notice how each model's attribute with a type, default value and `Field` has the same structure as a *path operation function's* parameter, with `Field` instead of `Path`, `Query` and `Body`.

## Add extra information

You can declare extra information in `Field`, `Query`, `Body`, etc. And it will be included in the generated JSON Schema.

You will learn more about adding extra information later in the docs, when learning to declare examples.

## Recap

You can use Pydantic's `Field` to declare extra validations and metadata for model attributes.

You can also use the extra keyword arguments to pass additional JSON Schema metadata.
