Hello Sir,

you should go with Web API. because
It uses common http protocol

it is open source

It can be hosted within an application or IIS

Lightweight then Web services

I think you should go with Angular. As you are a web developer, you would be familiar with html, typescript, bootstrap. so you can get command on Angular very fast.
And with Angular, you should go with Ionic then your mobile application will be cross-platform.

With Angular you can work with web api.
