ASP.NET Web API is a framework that simplifies building HTTP services for broader range of clients (including browsers as well as mobile devices) on top of .NET Framework.

Using ASP.NET Web API, we can create non-SOAP based services like plain XML or JSON strings, etc. with many other advantages including:

  • Create resource-oriented services using the full features of HTTP
  • Exposing services to a variety of clients easily like browsers or mobile devices, etc.
