Learn the difference between Minimal API and Controllers, as well as Authentication and Authorization techniques.

In this video, we dive deep into .NET Core Minimal API, covering everything from the basics to advanced structuring techniques. You’ll learn how Minimal APIs in C# provide a lightweight, high-performance alternative to traditional controllers. We compare Minimal API vs MVC, explore Minimal API Authentication and Authorization, and implement JWT authentication to secure endpoints. Plus, we’ll structure APIs efficiently using endpoint classes for better maintainability.

We’ll start with an overview of ASP.NET Core Minimal API vs Controller, then migrate a traditional REST API to Minimal API. You’ll see how to define Minimal API endpoints, optimize routing, and handle CRUD operations. We also discuss Results vs TypedResults in ASP.NET Core Web API and demonstrate Minimal API Middleware for better request handling. By the end of this tutorial, you'll understand how to structure Minimal APIs, improve Minimal API performance, and implement JWT authentication in a C# Minimal API project.
