What is the difference between ASP.NET Web API and ASP.NET Core?

ASP.NET was introduced in 2002 and the initial version was ASP.NET 1.0 and it keeps on enhancing the version to deliver the optimum result. ASP.NET is a web development platform used to build, applications, websites, and web services. It's an aggregation of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Asp. Net runs on HTTP (Hypertext Transmission Protocol) and uses HTTP commands and policies to set up a plugin for server communication.

For the creation of web applications, ASP.NET provides three development styles such as:

Asp. Net MVC: offers MVC (Model-View-Controller) patterns the simple way to create a dynamic website. These patterns are used for the user interface, data, and application logic. The model is responsible for the management of application data and logic. The view is an application user interface that shows the data. The user request handling controller transfers a View and Model request.

Web Forms: ASP.NET web forms apply an event-driven interaction model to web applications. It allows you to create a data access framework and also to provide server-side and event for the development of an application.

Asp. Net Web Pages: It allows us to create interactive web pages. It blends HTML and server code in a fast way.

What is the core of Asp.net:

It a new version of Asp.net that has been released by Microsoft. It is an open-source platform used to build a web application and can be run with various browsers, such as Mac, Windows, or Linux. ASP.Net is now a modern version of asp.net. It's a free open source that can run on a number of OSes, such as Mac, Windows, and Linux. It was initially released as ASP.NET 5, but later it was renamed ASP.NET Core, still with the same name.

Asp. Net Core is a cloud-based platform for building web apps on Windows, Android, and Linux, including the MVC module. It's a mix of the MVC and the WEB API with a single application programming framework.

ASP.Net Core Major Benefits:

Easy to develop asp.net cross-platform software on Ios, Mac, and Linux.

The architecture is a cloud-ready system.
