How to disable schema validation?

Validating requests is costly - roughly 40% of dispatching time is spent on schema validation. If you know the incoming requests are valid, you can disable the validation for better performance.

dispatch(request, validator=lambda _: None)

Which HTTP status code to respond with?

I suggest:

200 if response else 204

If the request was a notification, dispatch will give you an empty string. So since there's no http body, use status code 204 - no content.

How to rename a method

Use @method(name="new_name").

Or use the dispatch function's methods parameter.

How to get the response in other forms?

Instead of dispatch, use:

• dispatch_to_serializable to get the response as a dict.
• dispatch_to_response to get the response as a namedtuple (either a SuccessResponse or ErrorResponse, these are defined in response.py).

For these functions, if the request was a batch, you'll get a list of responses. If the request was a notification, you'll get None.
