Introduction to .NET REST API Server Libraries
The .NET ecosystem offers a rich variety of server-side libraries and frameworks for building RESTful web services. These libraries provide developers with the tools and abstractions needed to create robust, scalable, and maintainable HTTP APIs.
Each library in this section represents a different approach to building REST APIs in .NET, from full-featured frameworks like ASP.NET Core to functional programming models like Giraffe. Understanding the strengths and use cases of each library will help you choose the right tool for your specific requirements.
Available Libraries
This section covers the following server libraries:
ASP.NET Core : Microsoft’s flagship cross-platform web framework, offering both controller-based and minimal API approaches to building REST services.
Giraffe : A functional ASP.NET Core middleware library for building web applications, with a focus on F# and functional programming principles.
Other libraries like Carter, ServiceStack, and NancyFx may be added in future updates to provide a comprehensive view of the .NET REST API development landscape.
