Content Negotiation

RESTful APIs often support content negotiation,


which allows clients to specify the format of the
response they prefer (e.g. JSON, XML, or HTML).

ASP.NET Core provides built-in support for content


negotiation through the Produces attribute.

Monitor your API to identify issues and to ensure


it performs optimally.

01
HTTP Verbs

RESTful APIs typically use HTTP verbs (GET,


POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) to represent different
operations on resources.

ASP.NET Core provides attributes such as [HttpGet],


[HttpPost], [HttpPut], and [HttpDelete] to associate
controller actions with specific HTTP verbs.

Determine the resources that your API will expose


and the URLs that will be used to access them.

02
Request & Response Bodies

RESTful APIs often use request and response


bodies to represent data.

ASP.NET Core provides built-in support for


serializing and deserializing JSON and XML data,
which are commonly used formats for request and
response bodies.

Document your API with clear and concise


documentation that includes examples and
use cases.

03
Resource Naming

RESTful APIs often use plural nouns to represent


collections of resources, and singular nouns to
represent individual resources.

For example, a collection of products might be


represented as /api/products, while a specific
product might be represented as /api/products/1

04
Route Templates

ASP.NET Core uses route templates to map


incoming requests to controller actions. Route
templates use placeholders, such as {id}, to
capture values from the request URL.

For example, a route template for getting a specific


product might look like this: api/products/{id}

05
Pagination

When working with collections of resources, it's


often necessary to provide pagination to limit
the number of results returned.

ASP.NET Core provides built-in support for


pagination through the Skip and Take methods.

Use proper HTTP status codes to indicate the status of


the request and response.

06
HTTP Status Codes

RESTful APIs use HTTP status codes to indicate


the success or failure of a request.

ASP.NET Core provides constants, such as


Status200OK and Status404NotFound, that can be
used to return standard HTTP status codes from
controller actions.

07
Filtering & Sorting

RESTful APIs often support filtering and sorting of


collections of resources.

ASP.NET Core provides built-in support for filtering and


sorting through the Where and OrderBy methods.

08
Error Handling

It's important to provide clear and informative error


messages when errors occur in a RESTful API.

ASP.NET Core provides built-in support for error


handling through the UseExceptionHandler and
UseStatusCodePages middleware.

Use meaningful error messages that explain


what went wrong and how to fix it. This helps the
client developers to debug and resolve the
issues quickly.

09
Versioning

When making changes to a RESTful API, it's important to


maintain backwards compatibility with existing
clients.One way to do this is through versioning, which
allows you to make changes to the API while still
supporting older versions.

ASP.NET Core provides built-in support for versioning


through the ApiVersion Attribute. This attribute allows
developers to version their API controllers and actions by
specifying the version number in the URL or HTTP headers.

10
Authentication and authorization

RESTful APIs often require authentication and


authorization to control access to resources.

ASP.NET Core provides built-in support for authentication


and authorization through middleware such as
UseAuthentication and UseAuthorization.

Use authentication and authorization to secure


your API and restrict access to authorized users.

11
Caching

To improve performance and reduce server load,


RESTful APIs often support caching of responses.

ASP.NET Core provides built-in support for caching


through the ResponseCache attribute.

Use cache control headers to specify the caching


behavior of the response.

12
HATEOAS

HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State) is


a design pattern that emphasizes the use of hyperlinks to
represent the relationships between resources in a RESTful
API. While not strictly required, HATEOAS can make APIs more
discoverable and easier to use.

ASP.NET Core provides built-in support for generating


hyperlinks through the UrlHelper class.
