Building the Initial Framework – Laying the Foundation of the Application

In the last chapter, we talked about REST, its characteristics, and how it is implemented in ASP.NET Core. We will go ahead with that knowledge and set up the environment to develop an application in this chapter.

We will start building the basic framework of the app. We will understand each and every HTTP verb, how they work, and their implementation paradigms in ASP.NET Core Web API. Before all that, we will have a quick look at SOAP and how it is different from REST.

While we walk though the verbs, we will explore a very easy-to-use tool to analyze the HTTP requests and responses.

We will cover the following topics:

All about web services (REST and SOAP)
Running the development server
REST verbs and status codes
Implementation of verbs in ASP.NET Core Web API
Examples using Postman
SOAP versus...

Key benefits

Follow best practices and explore techniques such as clustering and caching to achieve a reactive, scalable web service

Leverage the .NET Framework to quickly implement RESTful endpoints.

Learn to implement a client library for a RESTful web service using ASP.NET Core.

Description

REST is an architectural style that tackles the challenges of building scalable web services. In today's connected world, APIs have taken a central role on the web. APIs provide the fabric through which systems interact, and REST has become synonymous with APIs. The depth, breadth, and ease of use of ASP.NET Core makes it a breeze for developers to work with for building robust web APIs. This book takes you through the design of RESTful web services and leverages the ASP.NET Core framework to implement these services. This book begins by introducing you to the basics of the philosophy behind REST. You'll go through the steps of designing and implementing an enterprise-grade RESTful web service. This book takes a practical approach, that you can apply to your own circumstances. This book brings forth the power of the latest .NET Core release, working with MVC. Later, you will learn about the use of the framework to explore approaches to tackle resilience, security, and scalability concerns. You will explore the steps to improve the performance of your applications. You'll also learn techniques to deal with security in web APIs and discover how to implement unit and integration test strategies. By the end of the book, you will have a complete understanding of Building a client for RESTful web services, along with some scaling techniques.

What you will learn

• Add basic authentication to your RESTful API

• Create a Carts Controller and Orders Controller to manage and process Orders

• Intercept HTTP requests and responses by building your own middleware

• Test service calls using Postman and Advanced REST Client

• Secure your data/application using annotations

There are times in the book where the author(s) say we'll make some minor modifications to the code and they don't explain, or show the code that they added. Instead, they add a link to their GitHub. This wouldn't be problem normally. However, in one of the chapters they added 50+ lines of code that they never go over. They never explain why they decided to go the route that they did with the code nor explain how or what the code does. If it doesn't say verified purchase next to my review. It's because I returned the e-book. You'll have a better time going elsewhere for information.

Not explained: Best Practices, Paging on REST Interface, IQuaryable not explained, chapter Sequrity raises many queations, OData not mentioned. Some examples have ToList on SQL Queries much too early. Sorry, its not what I expected!

I was anticipating some stuff like url filters and parameterization but you kept focusing on other stuff which can be found in other books or net.

SOAP	REST
It is an XML-based message protocol.	It is an architectural style.
WSDL is used for communication between client and server.	XML or JSON is used to send and receive data between client and server.
Services are invoked by calling the RPC method.	Services expose endpoints via URLs.
Response is easily readable by a human.	Response is readable in the form of plain XML or JSON.
Data transfer occurs over HTTP. It leverages protocols such as SMTP, FTP, and so on.	REST data transfer occurs over HTTP only.
It is difficult to call a SOAP service from JavaScript.	It is very easy to call a REST service from JavaScript.
