This chapter starts with a quick recap of MVC. You might be surprised why we need MVC when we are working with web APIs. It's because the ASP.NET Web API is designed based on the MVC principles of Controllers, Models, and Views (the response returned can be treated as a faceless view in the case of a Web API).
