What's the difference between APIController and Controller?

Question

ASP.NET

What is the difference between APIController and Controller, as I understand it, ApiController cannot have a View, or is there a way to create a View so that either View or Json or xml is returned depending on the Header?

Answer 1

Everything is described in the documentation

A more extended class, another question is why you are in one place.
However, there is a special section on serializers, you can even give in text form
