ok() vs okResult() vs okObjectResult()

Hi @Newbie Dev ,

Can someone please give me an example of how they are different?
What will be the output of each of them?

If you check the Ok constructor method, you can see that:

When using the Ok method without parameter, it will return an OkResult object. If using the Ok method with the parameter (an object), it will return an OkObjectResult object.

The difference between OkResult and OkObjectResult as the document and Bruce-SqlWork said, the OkResult will show an empty 200 response, and the OkObjectResult will show the 200 responses with the passed object.

So, the code return Ok(); equals return new OkResult(); , and the code return Ok(object); equals return new OkObjectResult(object);. The only difference for me is readability of code and your own or your team preferences.

The result is like this:

using OkObjectResult or Ok(object):

    public IActionResult Index2()  
    {  
        return new OkObjectResult(new { userid=101, username="Tom"});   // or using  return Ok(new { userid=101, username="Tom"});   
    }  

Using OkResult or Ok():

    public IActionResult Index2()  
    {  
        return new OkResult();     // Or  using  return Ok();   
    }
