Hi, I am unable to find the difference between HttpContext.Request.Path and HttpContext.GetEndpoint, and when to use what?

Please suggest.

What I have tried:

Searched a lot on google, looks like they both do the same thing (return the endpoint url) but not clear why there are 2 ways to get the same result, and when should I use one over the other.

Solution 1

The request pathe returns a simple string, detailing the path. GetEndpoint is an extension that returns the underlying Endpoint[^]. So, if you want to be able to explore the underlying metadata of the request, use GetEndpoint. If all you need is the path, use Request.Path.
