Create ASP.NET Core Web API endpoints by structuring controllers or minimal APIs with appropriate request and response models, ensuring status code consistency and service-layer separation for maintainable API patterns.

Configure OpenAPI documentation for an ASP.NET Core Web API by setting up API metadata and documentation practices within your application, ensuring REST endpoints are properly documented and production-ready for consumers.

Set up global error handling in an ASP.NET Core API by configuring centralized exception handling middleware and Problem Details responses, providing consistent error reporting across all API endpoints for production-ready services.

Yes, ASP.NET Core endpoint development supports both controller-based and minimal API approaches, including proper endpoint creation, DTO design, validation, and OpenAPI configuration for production-ready REST implementations.

Controller-based APIs use explicit controller classes for endpoint organization, while minimal APIs use lightweight lambda expressions, but both patterns support proper HTTP semantics, validation, and error handling when building reliable ASP.NET Core APIs.
