✅ Respond with HTML instead of plaintext

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.MapGet("/", () => "<h1>Hello World!</h1>");

app.Run();

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.MapGet("/", () => "<h1>Hello World!</h1>");

app.Run();

This is my entire app right now - how do I make the entire app use HTML as the content type by default?

Writes the utf8Content UTF-8 encoded text to the HTTP response.

yeah but most of my app will return HTML responses wouldn't that be tiring to do for each one can i set a default for it

the easiest would be to use something like MVC, razor pages or blazor. minimal apis is mainly designed for web apis

Add middleware after creating app variable that making your response as html

app.Use(async (context, next) =>
{
    context.Response.ContentType = "text/html";
    await next(context);
});

app.Use(async (context, next) =>
{
    context.Response.ContentType = "text/html";
    await next(context);
});
