- HTTP/3: Built-in support for HTTP/3, the latest HTTP version based on the new QUIC multiplexed transport protocol.
- WebSockets over HTTP/2: Use WebSockets over HTTP/2 connections.
- WebTransport (experimental): Create streams and data grams over HTTP/3 with experimental support for WebTransport.
- Minimal APIs
- Endpoint filters: Use endpoint filters to run cross-cutting code before or after a route handler.
- Typed results: Return strongly typed results from minimal APIs.
- Route groups: Organize groups of endpoints with a common prefix
- gRPC
- JSON transcoding: Expand the reach of your gRPC services by also exposing them as JSON-based APIs
- OpenAPI with JSON transcoding (experimenal): Use experimental support for generating OpenAPI specs for your gRPC JSON transcoded services.

- Bind after/get/set modifiers: Run async logic after data binding and independently control how data binding gets and sets the data.
- Dynamic authentication requests: Create dynamic authentication requests at runtime with custom parameters to handle advanced authentication scenarios in Blazor WebAssembly apps.
- Improved JavaScript interop on WebAssembly: Optimize JavaScript interop call when running on WebAssembly using the new
[JSImport]/[JSExport]support. - WebAssembly SIMD & exception handling: Improve performance with .NET WebAssembly ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation using WebAssembly SIMD and exception handling support.
