Tag: minimal-apis

ASP.NET Core 11 has built-in validation for minimal APIs: call AddValidation, annotate your request record with DataAnnotations, and a source generator validates the bound model and returns 400 ProblemDetails before your handler runs. No controllers, no FluentValidation, no manual checks.

.NET 11 Preview 4 makes ASP.NET Core OpenAPI generation recognize HTTP QUERY as a first-class operation in OpenAPI 3.2, with a graceful fallback for 3.0 and 3.1 documents.

Pick minimal APIs by default in ASP.NET Core 11. Use controllers only when you need MVC features that minimal APIs still do not match: convention-based routing across many actions, MVC-style filters, or Razor views.
