Abstract
As you learned in Chapter 3, one of the six REST constraints is the uniform interface constraint. Important parts of the uniform interface are representations of the URIs that identify our application entities or state. You also saw in Chapter 3 that the representation formats are identified by Internet media types (or MIME types, as they were called in the past). As ASP.NET Web API aims to ease the implementation of HTTP or even more RESTful applications, it obviously needs to provide a way to create and read from different Internet media types without a hassle. How this is done in ASP.NET Web API will be explained in the course of this chapter.
