How do you handle exceptions globally?

Mid ASP.NET Web API
Quick Answer Global exception handling: use app.UseExceptionHandler() middleware. Catches unhandled exceptions, logs them, and returns a structured error response. .NET 8: implement IExceptionHandler interface, register with AddExceptionHandler(). Return ProblemDetails (RFC 7807) for consistent error format across all endpoints. Never expose exception details (stack trace, internal messages) to API clients in production.

Answer

Global exception handling centralizes error responses.

Use:

  • UseExceptionHandler() middleware
  • Custom exception-handling middleware
  • Standardized error payloads and logging
