Possible to create REST web service with ASP.NET 2.0

Question

Is it possible to create a REST web service using ASP.NET 2.0? The articles and blog entries I am finding all seem to indicate that ASP.NET 3.5 with WCF is required to crea

Answer 1

You can create RESTful service using

1) WCF REST service 2) ASP.NET Web API

If you all care about RESTful service, ASP.NET web api is that you should go with. But if you need service that supports both SOAP webservice and RESTful then WCF REST would be a good choice.

There are some articles that discuss about one versus another. This article may be helpful.

Answer 2

I'm only just beginning to use them, but from what I've seen 2.0 pretty assumes SOAP.
