The ASP.NET Core routing system can be extended and used to cover a lot of use cases. In general, it provides all the necessary functionalities out of the box. It is essential to understand that conventional routing is generally used by web applications, while web services routing is usually achieved by applying the attribute routing. This chapter described how to deal with these two approaches, how to use the out-of-box constraints provided by ASP.NET Core and how to implement our custom routing constraints. In the next chapter, we will look at how to deal with the filter pipeline of ASP.NET Core and in which way they differ from the implementation of the middleware classes.

Overview of this book
In recent times, web services have evolved to play a prominent role in web development. Applications are now designed to be compatible with any device and platform, and web services help us keep their logic and UI separate. Given its simplicity and effectiveness in creating web services, the RESTful approach has gained popularity, and this book will help you build RESTful web services using ASP.NET Core.
This REST book begins by introducing you to the basics of the REST philosophy, where you'll study the different stages of designing and implementing enterprise-grade RESTful web services. You'll also gain a thorough understanding of ASP.NET Core's middleware approach and learn how to customize it. The book will later guide you through improving API resilience, securing your service, and applying different design patterns and techniques to achieve a scalable web service. In addition to this, you'll learn advanced techniques for caching, monitoring, and logging, along with implementing unit and integration testing strategies. In later chapters, you will deploy your REST web services on Azure and document APIs using Swagger and external tools such as Postman.
By the end of this book, you will have learned how to design RESTful web services confidently using ASP.NET Core with a focus on code testability and maintainability.
