An empty web template creates a minimal ASP.NET Core web application with little generated boilerplate. It supports building a web service using the minimal API style, making the initial setup nearly as direct as a console application. section 3.1
Create and run a service
Run `dotnet new web --name AsciiArtSvc`, enter the project directory, and execute `dotnet run`. The generated application listens on configured HTTP and HTTPS development ports and exposes a default root response of “Hello World!”.
The generated project uses `Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web`; its `Program.cs` builds a `WebApplication`, maps endpoints, and runs the service. Unlike a fuller web API template, it leaves application behavior largely to the developer. section 3.1
Local development may require trusting the .NET development certificate. Launch profiles can open a browser and define application URLs; `dotnet run` starts the service without opening one. section 3.1
