Simple WEB API REST Project

Tags:

What is the best way to create a simple REST API in Visual Studio 2013 using ASP.NET MVC.

I just want something with controllers and route config along with any other basic requirements for a HTTP REST API.

I don't require any Razor view engine, Javascript or HTML inclusions.

How can I create a project without all the unwanted extras, which I usually remove in the past?

Thank you.

It's all in the template you select.

  1. In the New Project dialog, select ".NET Framework 4.5" if not already selected
  2. Navigate to Installed > Templates > Visual C# > Web, then "ASP.NET Web Application" and select OK.
  3. On the dialog to select the project type, select "Empty", but then be sure to check "Web API" under "Add folders and core references.

Now you'll have the bare minimums created.
