API development in C#

API development in C# typically involves creating web services using a framework such as ASP.NET Web API or ASP.NET Core. These frameworks provide the tools and infrastructure needed to build robust and scalable APIs. Here’s a general overview of the steps involved in API development in C#:

• Choose a framework:
  • Options: ASP.NET Web API (for traditional .NET Framework) or ASP.NET Core (for cross-platform development)
  • Selection criteria: Consider factors such as platform compatibility, performance, and feature sets
• Set up your development environment:
  • Install tools: Install Visual Studio, the primary IDE for C# development
  • Create a project: Use Visual Studio to create a new ASP.NET Web API or ASP.NET Core project
• Define the API structure:
  • Create controllers: In ASP.NET, controllers handle incoming requests and produce responses. In ASP.NET Core, these are typically derived from Controller or ControllerBase classes.
  • Define endpoints: Use attributes...
