ASP.Net Web API and Documentation using Swagger

ASP.Net Web API is a framework for building HTTP Services that can be accessed from any client including browsers and mobile devices. It is an ideal platform for building RESTful applications on the .Net Framework. ASP.Net Web API is different from regular Web API;  it is used to create full-blown HTTP services with an easy and simple way that returns only data, not view. 

Other than learning about API, developers will also learn about Swagger. Swagger helps users build, document, test and consume RESTful web services. Swaggers can be used with both a top-down and bottom-up API development approach. The major Swagger tools include Swagger Editor - browser based editor where you can write OpenAPI definitions.
