title: How to handle Images using WebAPI
body: <p>Questions</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>What are the different ways to POST/GET images to my service?  I think I can either use Base-64 text in JSON or stay native as binary.  My understanding is that by converting the image into text, there is a significant increase is package size.</p></li>
  <li><p>If I send the image (from a web form, from a native client, from another service), should I add a Image Controller/Handler or use a Formatter?  Is this even an either/or question?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have researched and found many competing examples but I am not sure which direction I should be heading.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there a site/blog article that lays out the pros and cons for this?  </p>
