What is Web API? Web API is a framework which is used to build/develop HTTP services.
Why is Web API required? Is it possible to use RESTful services using WCF? Yes, we can still develop RESTful services with WCF. However, there are two main reasons that prompt users to use Web API instead of RESTful services. Web API increases TDD (Test Data Driven) approach in the development of RESTful services. If we want to develop RESTful services in WCF, you surely need a lot of config settings, URI templates, contracts & endpoints for developing RESTful services using web API.
Why select Web API? It is used to create simple, non-SOAP-based HTTP Services It is also an easy method for creation with Web API. With WCF REST Services It is based on HTTP and easy to define, expose and consume in a REST-ful way. It is lightweight architecture and ideal for devices that have limited bandwidth like smartphones.
