In this post, we are going to write about what we consider to be the best practices while developing the .NET Core Web API project. How we can make it better and how to make it more maintainable.

We are going to go through the following sections:

• Startup Class and the Service Configuration
• Project Organization
• Environment Based Settings
• Data Access Layer
• Controllers
• Actions
• Microsoft.AspNetCore.All Meta-Package
• Routing
• Logging
• CryptoHelper
• Content Negotiation
• Using JWT
• Conclusion
