What is the best way to make a small API?

Question

API

There is a task to make a mini-server in C # under linux, it will have 3-4 commands and a database for 2-3 tables. It seems to me that using ASP for this is like "shooting sparrows with a cannon". Maybe there are more lightweight solutions, or ASP is fine here?

Answer 1

Not asp, but asp net core.
In general - why not? For small APIs, version 6 even has a new syntax: ASP NET Core minimal api

Answer 2

If you know how to sharp, then ASP.NET webapi is quite ok.
If you want to play around, you can look at go, for example. The language is compiled, going into a static binary.
Solutions on Node.js or Python (django) IMHO should not be considered - both there and there will be a virtual machine / interpreter, that is, there will be no fundamental difference with sharp, so you can take a familiar stack.

Answer 3

php?
