title: WCF vs ASP.NET Web API
body: <p>I've spent a few months trying to grasp the concepts behind WCF and recently I've developed my first WCF service application. </p>
  
  <p>I've struggled quite a bit to understand all the settings in the config file.<br>
  I am not convinced about the environment but it seems that you can do amazing stuff with it.  </p>
  
  <p>The other day I've found out that Microsoft has come out with a new thing called <strong>ASP.NET Web API</strong>.  </p>
  
  <p>For what I can read it's a <strong>RESTful framework</strong>, very easy to use and implement.  </p>
  
  <p>Now, I am trying to figure out what are the main differences between the 2 frameworks and if I should try and convert my <em>old</em> WCF service application with the new API.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone, please, help me to understand the differences and usage of each?</p>
