How does the ASP.NET Web API fit in? How does the ASP.NET Web API work? How can it be consumed by clients such as ASP.NET MVC, Win8/Metro, etc.? In this session, John discusses how to get up and running with the ASP.NET  Web API thorugh practical examples. The ASP.NET Web API is a robust solution that represents the easiest way to extend the reach of your application's and enterprise's data. en Sun, 19 May 2013 14:47:20 GMT Sun, 19 May 2013 14:47:20 GMT Rev9 Re: Introduction to the ASP.NET Web API So is the recommended approach for MVC/WebAPI hybrid apps to go back over the wire to your REST API server from your MVC front end?  To me this seems like a situation where a shared domain model compiled separately into two apps makes more sense.  Then you serve HTML to browsers via MVC and JSON to mobile apps or other clients.  Otherwise I'm going from browser, over the network to the MVC server, over the network again (perhaps configured so it doesn't leave the datacenter) to my REST API endpoint, then to the DB, then back over each hop again.  

Of course I know that SPAs & MVC js frameworks like backbone work nicely with REST APIs.  So ideally you'd skip the MVC part.  I guess I'm just used to the heavier back end tier, not simply shipping objects to a smart js front end.  

Are there any other ways to integrate MVC & WebAPI?

We now have many ways (which is a good thing) to serve data and pages. I'll give you my 2 cents on this, for what it's worth. If you are already serving pages through MVC (or planning it) you could use that methodology to load the pages and their initial data. Then use the Web API to for gathering data from the client. This gives you a bit of hybrid scenario but it may yield a better user experience.

For example, your View is loaded from a server side model and presented to the user. Then you could use the Web API to gathering data as the user interacts with the view. 

Or you could gather the data on the server and convert it to JSON in the View. Then use Knockout to bind it. After that, all data requests could use the Web API so you don't re-post.

Or if you could just load an HTML page for the Views (with or without MVC) and use a client side Views, using Knockout (or some other library).

There are many variations ... it really depends on your team's skills, experience, and what you want to achieve.

I hope someone writes a quick pros and cons of going each way.

I guess since the WebAPI, is really exposing the raw ORM CRUD level methods will result in the 'business logic' layer moving into the Client layer. If we want the Servers, and Servers in the Cloud to do more centralised Business logic, I would tend to implement and expose WCF services exposed instead. (Also overcomes versioning and data hiding)
