Controllers and Actions
Tugberk Ugurlu, Alexander Zeitler, Ali Kheyrollahi · Apress eBooks · 2013
If we think of the ASP.NET Web API framework as a human body, the controller and actions part is the heart of that body. Many components of the Web API framework are glued together by the ApiController class, which is the default controller implementation provided out of the box. Filters, model binding, formatters, action selection—these are all part of the controller execution process. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
