Web API is a framework that makes it easy to build HTTP services that reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices.
Its main features are:
-It supports convention-based CRUD Actions since it works with HTTP verbs
GET,POST,PUT and DELETE.
-Responses have an Accept header and HTTP status code.
-It may accepts and generates the content which may not be object oriented
like images, PDF files etc.
-Responses are formatted by Web API’s MediaTypeFormatter into JSON, XML or
whatever format you want to add as a MediaTypeFormatter.
