WEB - / REST Server under .NET4.8

Question

Hello,

What is the right way to create a web server under .NET4.8. Do you have an example.
It seems easier on .NET6. Unfortunately I do not have this version available.

I create a GET request and a JSON response comes back as a response. Do you have a demonstration?
The best is with WPF desktop application.

 var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args); 
 var app = builder.Build(); 
 var fileName = "counter.txt"; 
 var counter = 0; 

 if (!File.Exists(fileName)) 
     File.Create(fileName).Close(); 
 else 
     counter = int.Parse(File.ReadAllText(fileName)); 

 app.MapGet("/", () =>  
 { 
     lock(app)
     {
         ++counter; 
         File.WriteAllText(fileName,counter.ToString()); 
     }
     return counter; 
 }); 

 app.Run();

Your question is not clear.

Typically with 4.8 you would create a webapi project that is hosted by IIS. IIS supplies the main request pipline, and your project just supplies callbacks. The closest to your sample is a http module

If you meant a self hosting web server not hosted by IIS, then you use the self hosting module

Or you can use owin
