Attribute-based routing in web api
Attribute-based routing is a feature in ASP.NET Web API (and ASP.NET Core MVC) that allows developers to define routes directly on controller actions or methods using attributes, rather than configuring routes in a centralized routing table. This approach enables developers to have more fine-grained control over routing, making the codebase more organized and easier to maintain. By decorating controller actions or methods with attributes like `[Route]`, `[HttpGet]`, `[HttpPost]`, `[HttpPut]`, `[HttpDelete]`, etc., developers can specify the HTTP method and route template for each action, directly within the controller itself. This approach simplifies routing configuration and makes it more intuitive, especially for RESTful APIs where HTTP methods have specific meanings. For example, in ASP.NET Core MVC, you can define routes like this: ```csharp-code [Route("api/[controller]")] public class ProductsController : ControllerBase { [HttpGet] public IActionResult ...
