title: Asp.Net Web api communicating with another web api over REST
body: <p>In my current architecture, I have a public facing Gateway API (asp.net Web API 2) that talks to multiple back end APIs (again Web API2) over REST for serving up requests. I know that HttpClient can be used to perform API to API communication in this scenario. But, this setup will not provide the compile time type checking and intellisense we get when using WCF over the wire or Remote Procedure Calls. </p>
  
  <p>Can we achieve Type Checking and intellisense with REST using Web API2? </p>
  
  <p>thank you,
  Soma. </p>
