Web API Overview
Explore the core concepts of ASP.NET Core Web API, including REST principles, endpoint creation, and project structure. Understand how APIs respond to HTTP requests without rendering UI, enabling secure communication for SSO setups in various clients and services.
We'll cover the following...
The ASP.NET Core web API is a framework for building HTTP services that can be accessed by various clients, such as web browsers and mobile devices. Typically, these services follow
