What are Filters and why are they important?

Senior .NET Core
Quick Answer Filters are AOP-style hooks. Authorization Filters gate access. Action Filters run business logic before/after action (logging, performance measurement). Result Filters modify responses (add headers, compress). Exception Filters catch unhandled action exceptions for consistent error formatting. Filters are more expressive than middleware for MVC-specific concerns.

Answer

Filters enable cross-cutting concerns such as logging, caching, authorization, and exception handling. Types include authorization, resource, action, exception, and result filters.
