Exploring Minimal APIs and Their Advantages

In this chapter of the book, we will introduce some of the basic themes related to minimal APIs in .NET 6.0, showing how they differ from the controller-based web APIs that we have written in the previous version of .NET. We will also try to underline both the pros and the cons of this new approach of writing APIs.

In this chapter, we will be covering the following topics:

  • Routing
  • Parameter binding
  • Exploring responses
  • Controlling serialization
  • Architecting a minimal API project
