copied!<p>ASP.NET MVC has been increasingly delivered via NuGet packages since ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update. This offers several advantages:</p> <ul> <li>Upgrades to to components delivered via NuGet - MVC itself and other associated components (Razor, Web API) without waiting for a new "big" release of either ASP.NET MVC, .NET, or Visual Studio.</li> <li>This also means that you can use individual parts as you'd like outside of MVC - for instance, Web API can be used outside of ASP.NET.</li> <li>More and more, components are being shared between UI layers and other parts of ASP.NET. Some examples: routing is shared with Web Forms and Web Pages, Razor is shared with Web Pages, the new OAuth parts are shared with Web Forms.</li> </ul> <p>You'll notice that in a project from the Basic template, you'll get the following packages:</p> <ul> <li>Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc</li> <li>Microsoft.AspNet.Razor</li> <li>Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi</li> <li>Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client</li> <li>Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core</li> <li>Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost</li> <li>Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages</li> <li>Microsoft.Net.Http</li> <li>Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure</li> <li>Newtonsoft.Json</li> </ul> <p>Five of the nine are used for Web Api, which has been highly componentized to allow developers a lot of flexibility about where and how they can use them. If you want to minimize your NuGet packages, you can use the Basic template.</p> <p>As you move up into the Basic and Internet templates, you'll see more packages to support the additional features the projects provide. Internet brings in several packages of open-source, non-Microsoft code such as OAuth and JavaScript libraries.</p> <p>There are a lot of JavaScript packages, which is a really good thing when you think about it, since this means that NuGet is automatically handling JavaScript dependencies for you - if you want to upgrade jQueryUI which in turn requires a new version of jQuery, it'll automatically upgrade jQuery for you.</p>
