Rright framework to be used ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET Web API

Question

Which would be the right framework to be used ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET Web API

Cynthia Sathuragiri · Answer

Use ASP.NET Web API if you want to build a service that sends and receives data (like JSON) for mobile apps or web front-ends (like Angular). Use ASP.NET MVC if you want to build a website that shows HTML pages using server-side rendering. If you are using .NET Core or later, you can use ASP.NET Core, which supports both Web API and MVC in one project.

Hi Kiran Kumar, ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET Web API both are right frameworks to be used. It depends on the specific requirements of the application being developed ASP.NET MVC: Suitable for full-stack web applications where the server renders the UI. ASP.NET Web API: Ideal for building data-centric services that can be consumed by various clients, often used in conjunction with client-side frameworks or for microservices. Hope this will help you!

Natasha Sturrock · Answer

For building web applications with full UI, ASP.NET MVC is ideal as it provides a complete framework for views, controllers, and models. If you need to create RESTful services or APIs consumed by clients like mobile apps or SPAs, ASP.NET Web API is the better choice. Often, both are used together—MVC for the frontend and Web API for backend services—depending on your project needs.
