@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net What is ASP.NET Web API? Framework for build
REST style API services, providing best practices and features of REST services inside the box.
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net But I got used to build REST API
with ASP.NET MVC?
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net ASP.NET MVC vs. ASP.NET WEB API ASP.NET MVC
is positioned as page-oriented development framework. ASP.NET Web API is positioned as api-oriented development framework.
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net ASP.NET WEB API One service – many clients
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net ASP.NET Web API main features - Code Scaffolding
- Content Negotiation - MediaTypeFormatters - Hypermedia - IQueryable & Odata support - Self-Documenting API - Hosting Options
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net Quick Example: ASP.NET Mobile App
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net Code Scaffolding - Scaffolds for Code-First Entity Framework
- Easy to use - Great for quick start and prototyping - CRUD from the box
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net Content Negotiation - Find best match between client-server
- Uses HTTP header information - “Invisible” for developer - JSON, XML from the box
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net Media Type Formatters - For support any custom
API format - Based on async operations - BufferedMediaTypeFormatter wraps the asynchronous read/write methods inside sychronous methods.
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net Hypermedia Support - Flexibility of formats - HttpResponseMessage
class - Embrace correct HTTP status codes
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net IQueryable & OData support - Paging and sorting
from the box - OData functions: $top, $order, $skip, $filter
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net Self Documenting API - IApiExplorer interface for getting
info - ApiDescription encapsulates information about particual API class - Used to generate documentation pages
@alexbeletsky http://beletsky.net Hosting Options - ASP.NET hosting by default -
Self Hosting (HTTP server in .exe) - OWIN, Kayak - Azure Roles
