Gentlemen developers! Tell me what "toolkit" to use to create a service that accepts json requests and sends responses. Option c node.js I know. However, I would like to get by with the .net platform only. I do not need pieces of code ready, just indicate the direction. Requests, in particular, will come from VK Api Callback. thank

    If you want to have a sufficiently complete control over the processing of requests, I would recommend to postpone the trendy WCF , ASP.NET Web API and even more so ASP.NET MVC . Start with the old, kind, simple and reliable HttpModule + HttpHandler . Nothing superfluous, maximum transparency and atomicity.

    1. Understanding HTTP Handlers and HTTP Modules
    2. Walkthrough: Creating an HTTP Synchronous Handler
    3. Walkthrough. Creating and registering a custom HTTP module

    All you need is to start processing requests, and not just json, but any:

    Create an assembly:

     using System.Web; public class HelloWorldHandler : IHttpHandler { public HelloWorldHandler() { } public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) { HttpRequest Request = context.Request; HttpResponse Response = context.Response; Response.Write("Hello from a synchronous custom HTTP handler."); } public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } } }

    And squeak next to it in <assemblyName>.web.config :

     <configuration> <system.web> <httpHandlers> <add verb="*" path="*.sample" type="HelloWorldHandler"/> </httpHandlers> </system.web> </configuration>

    Everything. You can place this pair of files in the site folder on IIS and process any requests. When you get comfortable with this and there will be a clear understanding of how IIS works, you can be entertained with more advanced technologies.

      1. WCF
      2. ASP.NET Web Services (deprecated)
      3. ASP.NET MVC
      4. ASP.NET Web Api

      For the "clean" work with JSON, the last option is best. WCF should be used if you want to provide soap-api as well as json-api. MVC should be used if in addition to api you also need a website.

        Try NancyFX

         public class MainModule : NancyModule { public MainModule() { Post["/callback"] = (_, ctx) => { var requestBody = SimpleJson.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(request); //Обработка запроса return Task.FromResult<dynamic>(requestBody.type == "confirmation" ? Response.AsText("701ab1ef") : Response.AsText("ok")); }; } }
