| Aug 6, 2015 at 9:19 | comment | added | Yugo Amaryl | Thank you. Well the information I found is that WebAPI and MVC already are unified with MVC5. It seems there is no more API controller, they all inherit from the same base class "Controller". Apparently, with MVC5, the type of the content returned can already be negotiated (examples can be found switching from JSON to XML). | |

WebAPI's base controller is tuned towards serving JSON, while MVC's controller is tuned towards serving web pages (though it can certainly be used to purely serve JSON). MVC6 unifies WebAPI and MVC under a single framework, so going forward you will simply use MVC6. | |
