Building HTTP-based Web Services Using ASP.NET Web API

ASP.NET 5


ASP.NET 5 is the latest framework from Microsoft for building modern cloud-based applications using .NET. It is a cross-platform framework so that you can run your applications built on ASP.NET 5 on any platform, such as Linux or Mac OS X and also on Microsoft Windows, obviously. ASP.NET 5 is open source, and the complete source code is available on GitHub at  https://github.com/aspnet/home .

The latest version of ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Core—runs on the ASP.NET 5 platform.

Features of ASP.NET 5

  • Cross-platform support: Applications that are built on top of ASP.NET 5 can run on any platform where ASP.NET 5 is installed. This means that the applications that you build on ASP.NET 5 can run on Apple OS X and Linux machines. Deploying ASP.NET Core on a Linux machine will be explained in a later chapter.

  • Better support for client-side development: ASP.NET 5 is designed to work seamlessly with a range of client-side frameworks, such as AngularJs, Knockout, Bootstrap, and React.js.
