What is Dependency Injection in ASP.NET Core and why is it built-in?

Mid .NET Core
Quick Answer Rather than instantiating dependencies manually (new Service()), ASP.NET Core's built-in DI container injects them automatically based on constructor parameters. This enables loose coupling (depend on interfaces), easier testing (inject mocks), and proper lifecycle management. It's built-in so every framework feature (controllers, middleware, Razor Pages) supports it natively.

Answer

ASP.NET Core includes a built-in DI container for service registration, lifetime management, and constructor injection. It enables cleaner architecture, testability, and decoupling across the entire framework.
