ASP.NET Core in backend development

  • Build REST APIs with minimal APIs or controllers.

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.MapGet("/health", () => Results.Ok(new { status = "ok" }));
app.MapGet("/courses", () => new[] { "C#", "ASP.NET", "EF Core" });

app.Run();
