Best practices for ASP.NET Core API design involve using DTOs for data transfer, enforcing validation, and implementing ProblemDetails for standardized error handling. This Skill provides 34 Iron Laws to ensure robust API patterns and middleware configuration.

Choosing between Minimal APIs and Controllers depends on your application's complexity and routing needs. This Skill offers guidance on both API patterns, helping you implement appropriate routing, versioning, and middleware order for your .NET 8/9/10/11 projects.

To implement validation and middleware order in .NET web APIs, apply specific API design patterns that enforce data integrity and request pipeline efficiency. This Skill assesses your setup to ensure adherence to established best practices for middleware configuration.

Yes, you can use this API design guidance for .NET 8, 9, 10, and 11. It is specifically applicable to web API development using C# and ASP.NET Core, ensuring your patterns and best practices remain compatible with modern .NET frameworks.

The best way to standardize error responses in ASP.NET Core APIs is by using ProblemDetails. This Skill helps you implement this pattern alongside other best practices, ensuring consistent error handling and validation reporting across your endpoints.
