How i return data in html format in web api??

Return HTML string

Return string content with media type text/html:


publicHttpResponseMessageGet()
{
varresponse=newHttpResponseMessage();
response.Content=newStringContent("<html><body>HelloWorldbody>html>");
response.Content.Headers.ContentType=newMediaTypeHeaderValue("text/html");
returnresponse;}

Returning Razor view from Web API

You need to Install-Package RazorEngine using your NuGet console.

using RazorEngine; using RazorEngine.Templating;


stringrazorTemplate="Hello@Model!";
stringhtml=Engine.Razor.RunCompile(razorTemplate,"uniqueTemplateKey",modelType:typeof(string),model:"LoremIpsum");

Now we can use code from the previous example to return HTML string from Web API.
