Mastering Minimal APIs in ASP.NET Core: Build, test, and prototype web APIs quickly using .NET and C# (Paperback)

Get a practical understanding of how to build lightweight ASP.NET Core applications and write cleaner, testable, and secure APIs with .NET 6 and Minimal APIs

Key Features:

• Explore clear and detailed guidelines to design and develop APIs for ASP.NET Core apps
• Discover expert tips, tricks, and best practices to build performant APIs
• Implement proven web API development methodologies using .NET 6 features and tools

Book Description:

The Minimal APIs feature, introduced in .NET 6, is the answer to code complexity and rising dependencies in creating even the simplest of APIs. Minimal APIs facilitate API development using compact code syntax and help you develop web APIs quickly.

This practical guide explores Minimal APIs end-to-end and helps you take advantage of its features and benefits for your ASP.NET Core projects. The chapters in this book will help you speed up your development process by writing less code and maintaining fewer files using Minimal APIs. You'll also learn how to enable Swagger for API documentation along with CORS and handle application errors. The book even promotes ideas to structure your code in a better way using the dependency injection library in .NET. Finally, you'll learn about performance and benchmarking improvements for your apps.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to fully leverage new features in .NET 6 for API development and explore how Minimal APIs are an evolution over classical web API development in ASP.NET Core.

What You Will Learn:

• Adopt new features in .NET 6 for building lightweight APIs
• Understand how to optimize API development with Minimal APIs in .NET 6
• Discover best practices for accessing and using data in Minimal APIs
• Understand how to validate incoming data to an API and return error messages
• Get familiar with dependency injection and logging for identifying errors
• Leverage the translation system in Minimal APIs to provide messages and errors in regional languages

Who this book is for:

If you are an existing .NET developer who wants to develop lightweight APIs quickly without much complexity, this book is for you. If you are a developer who is just getting started with the ASP.NET Core framework, this book will help you learn web API development using the latest .NET features. The book assumes intermediate-level knowledge of C# programming, Visual Studio, and REST API concepts.

獲得實際理解如何建立輕量級的ASP.NET Core應用程序，並使用.NET 6和Minimal APIs編寫更乾淨、可測試和安全的API。

主要特點：
- 探索清晰詳細的指南，設計和開發ASP.NET Core應用程序的API。
- 發現專家提示、技巧和最佳實踐，構建高性能的API。
- 使用.NET 6的功能和工具實施經過驗證的Web API開發方法論。

書籍描述：
Minimal APIs功能是.NET 6中引入的，它是應對代碼複雜性和不斷增加的依賴性的解決方案，即使是最簡單的API也可以使用Minimal APIs進行開發。Minimal APIs使用緊湊的代碼語法來促進API開發，並幫助您快速開發Web API。

這本實用指南從頭到尾探索了Minimal APIs，並幫助您充分利用其功能和優勢，用於ASP.NET Core項目。本書的章節將幫助您通過使用Minimal APIs編寫更少的代碼和維護更少的文件來加快開發過程。您還將學習如何啟用Swagger進行API文檔，以及處理應用程序錯誤和CORS。本書甚至提出了使用.NET中的依賴注入庫更好地結構化代碼的想法。最後，您將學習有關應用程序性能和基準測試改進的知識。

通過閱讀本書，您將能夠充分利用.NET 6中的新功能進行API開發，並了解Minimal APIs如何是ASP.NET Core中傳統Web API開發的演進。

學到什麼：
- 採用.NET 6中的新功能來構建輕量級API。
- 了解如何使用.NET 6的Minimal APIs優化API開發。
- 發現在Minimal APIs中訪問和使用數據的最佳實踐。
- 了解如何驗證API的傳入數據並返回錯誤消息。
- 熟悉依賴注入和日誌記錄，以識別錯誤。
- 利用Minimal APIs中的翻譯系統，提供區域語言的消息和錯誤。

本書適合對象：
- 如果您是現有的.NET開發人員，想要快速開發輕量級API而不會遇到太多複雜性，那麼本書適合您。
- 如果您是剛開始使用ASP.NET Core框架的開發人員，本書將幫助您學習使用最新的.NET功能進行Web API開發。本書假設您具有中級水平的C#編程知識、Visual Studio和REST API概念。
