Book Description
Create APIs that embody simplicity, scalability, and precision with proven development techniques and the robust features of .NETKey FeaturesGet to grips with API design, architecture, and development methodologies to create elegant and scalable APIs in .NETGet insights into contemporary trends and tools shaping the API industryExplore both basic and advanced topics such as optimization, data integration, and cachingPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionWritten by an esteemed technology leader, a .NET specialist, and Microsoft MVP for Developer Technologies, Minimal APIs in ASP.NET 9 provides you with specialized insights into the latest advancements in .NET technology, particularly minimal APIs.You’ll get your first minimal API set up and running, before exploring the anatomy of a typical minimal API project, seeing how the framework can be used to create various HTTP endpoints, route, and validate requests, as well as enhancing those requests with custom middleware. After covering the basics, you’ll move on to data mapping, managing important dependencies through dependency injection and integrating your minimal APIs with data sources such as Entity Framework, Dapper, and SQL databases for creating CRUD operations. The chapters also walk you through performance optimization, asynchronous programming, and caching, which’ll allow you to examine the more advanced aspects of minimal API development, with code examples reflecting real-world scenarios.By the end of this book, you’ll be armed with the necessary best practices and skills needed for deploying performant, elegant, and scalable minimal APIs in .NET.What you will learnBecome proficient in minimal APIs within the .NET Core 9 frameworkFind out how to ensure scalability, performance, and maintainabilityWork with databases and ORMs, such as Entity Framework and DapperOptimize minimal APIs, including asynchronous programming, caching strategies, and profiling toolsImplement advanced features like dependency injection, request validation, data mapping, and routing techniquesCreate and configure minimal API projects effectivelyWho this book is forIf you’re a generalist developer looking for a fresh perspective on API development with an emphasis on minimalism, then this book is for you. Aimed at intermediate developers, this book strikes the right balance between accessibility and depth. The book assumes an intermediate level of C# and .NET knowledge, while providing sufficient guidance and explanations to help you progress confidently through the chapters.Table of ContentsGetting Up and Running with Minimal API DevelopmentCreating Your First Minimal APIThe Anatomy of a Minimal APIHandling HTTP Methods and Routing The Middleware PipelineParameter BindingDependency Injection in Minimal APIs Integrating Minimal APIs with Data Sources Object Relational Mapping with Entity Framework Core and DapperProfiling and Identifying BottlenecksUtilizing Asynchronous Programming for Scalability Caching Strategies for Enhanced Performance Best Practices for Minimal API Resiliency Unit Testing, Compatibility, and Deployment of Minimal APIs
