HttpClient socket exhaustion occurs because sockets linger after disposal. In .NET MAUI, you prevent socket exhaustion by registering HttpClient as a singleton or using IHttpClientFactory to reuse HTTP message handlers.

To handle JSON deserialization errors during REST API consumption, catch JsonException and HttpRequestException. You should also configure JsonSerializerOptions with camelCase and check HTTP status codes before attempting to deserialize the response.

The best way to configure HttpClient for dependency injection in .NET MAUI is registering it as a singleton or using IHttpClientFactory. This pattern ensures proper handler lifecycle management and prevents socket exhaustion.

To configure clear-text HTTP traffic for local API testing in .NET MAUI, update platform-specific networking configurations. Use Android 10.0.2.2 for emulator loopback and adjust iOS settings to allow local HTTP connections during development.

.NET MAUI supports async CRUD operations with REST APIs by using async/await patterns. You can implement GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests using HttpClient while properly handling HttpRequestException to avoid UI deadlocks.

JSON deserialization returns incorrect data when JsonSerializerOptions mismatch the API payload. Configure camelCase options in .NET MAUI and check HTTP status codes before deserializing to ensure valid JSON is processed.
