Scott Gu published an update on some ASP.NET Web API additions that look pretty exciting,  His post is available  here .and goes through some of the items that are coming in the near future to help support the Web API that was recently introduced in .NET 4.5.  one of the really nice items is the ability to use attribute based routing.  This allows you to use default values on your APIs, define custom actions, create route prefixes and support multiple versions of your API services.  It is a good read.
