ASP.NET Core Route Tooling Enhancements in .NET 8

ASP.NET Core is built on routing. Minimal APIs, Web APIs, Razor Pages, and Blazor all use routes to customize how HTTP requests map to your code. In .NET 8, new features are introduced to make routing easier to learn and use, such as route syntax highlighting, autocompletion of parameter and route names, autocompletion of route constraints, route analyzers and fixers, and support for Minimal APIs, Web APIs, and Blazor. These new features are collectively called route tooling, which brings productivity improvements to ASP.NET Core developers. Additionally, syntax highlighting and route syntax error alerts help developers to understand and use the routing syntax easily. The autocompletion feature speeds up the writing of APIs and reduces typos, while the support for route constraints limits what values a route can accept, making the code more efficient and error-free.
