Creating Lightweight APIs with Minimal Code in ASP.NET

Minimal API is a new feature introduced in ASP.NET 6 that allows developers to quickly create APIs with minimal code and configuration. Unlike traditional ASP.NET MVC, Minimal APIs allow you to build APIs with a more straightforward syntax and fewer dependencies.

With Minimal API, you can build simple APIs using just a single file and a few lines of code. This approach is ideal for small, microservices-style APIs or for prototyping.

Minimal APIs in ASP.NET MVC allow developers to write concise and clean code that is easy to understand and maintain. They also provide better performance and scalability due to their lightweight nature.

To get started with Minimal API in ASP.NET MVC, you can create a new project using the Minimal API template and start building your API using the new routing syntax. Minimal API is a great option for developers who want to build lightweight and efficient APIs quickly and easily.
