Chapter 8: Managing Inputs with Custom ModelBinders
In the last chapter regarding OutputFormatters, we learned about sending data out to clients in different formats. In this chapter, we are going to do it the other way. This chapter is about data you get in your Web API from outside; for instance, what to do if you get data in a special format, or if you get data you need to validate in a special way. ModelBinders will help you to handle this.
