We’re approaching the end of the road. Our ASP.NET Core project is now a full-featured web API that—with some minor tweaks and perks—could fulfill the sample purposes we expect it to serve.
In this part, we’ll learn the concepts and activities necessary to publish our web API project: setting up the documentation, adopting a suitable security approach, choosing the cloud provider, and (most important) dealing with the release and deployment aspects of ASP.NET Core.
Chapter 11 emphasizes the importance of good API documentation for potential users of a web API. It also reviews some important API documentation best practices and shows how to implement them with Swagger/OpenAPI and the Swashbuckle set of libraries for ASP.NET Core, with several source-code examples.
