ASP.NET Core makes building RESTful web APIs easy!
🚀 Getting Started
- Create a new project:
1 2
dotnet new webapi -n MyApi cd MyApi
- Run your API:
1
dotnet run
Visit https://localhost:5001/swagger to see it in action.
🏗️ Example: Simple Controller

[ApiController]
[Route("[controller]")]
public class HelloController : ControllerBase
{
[HttpGet]
public string Get() => "Hello, world!";
}
- Add this to your Controllers folder.
📝 Key Concepts
- Controllers: Handle HTTP requests (GET, POST, etc.)
- Routing: URL patterns map to methods
- Swagger: Built-in API documentation/testing
💡 Try It!
- Add a
GET /helloendpoint that returns a greeting.
