How do you implement global exception handling using middleware?

Entry ASP.NET Web API
Quick Answer Global exception handling with middleware: app.UseExceptionHandler(app => app.Run(async context => { var error = context.Features.Get(); log error; await context.Response.WriteAsJsonAsync(new ProblemDetails {...}); })). In .NET 8: use IExceptionHandler interface and app.AddExceptionHandler(). Returns RFC 7807 ProblemDetails format.

  • Create custom exception middleware
  • Wrap request processing in try/catch
