Answer
Routing maps URLs to endpoints (controllers/pages). Endpoint Routing performs early route matching and delays execution until UseEndpoints(). It allows metadata-driven policies (auth, CORS) and improves performance.
Quick Answer
Routing matches HTTP requests to endpoints. Endpoint Routing (current) separates matching (UseRouting) from execution (UseEndpoints/MapControllers). This allows middleware between matching and execution to use route data — like authorization middleware reading route metadata. Attribute routing ([Route], [HttpGet]) gives explicit control per action.
