== What is Minimal API ==
Instead of creating controllers and classes, you define endpoints inline in your app startup (usually Program.cs). It’s designed for:
* Simple APIs
* Microservices
* Prototypes
* High-performance endpoints with minimal overhead
== How they’re used ==
You define routes and handlers directly:
<pre>
var app = WebApplication.Create();

app.MapGet("/hello", () => "Hello world");

app.MapGet("/products/{id}", (int id) =>
{
return Results.Ok(new { Id = id, Name = "Sample product" });
});

app.Run();
</pre>
== Key ideas ==
* Routes + logic in one place (no controller layer)
* Uses standard HTTP verbs: MapGet, MapPost, etc.
* Supports dependency injection directly in parameters
* Works alongside full MVC if needed
== Example with dependency injection ==
<pre>
app.MapGet("/time", (ILogger<Program> logger) =>
{
logger.LogInformation("Time requested");
return DateTime.Now;
});
</pre>
