Difference between WebApiConfig.cs and RouteConfig.cs

Question

What is the difference between WebApiConfig.cs and RouteConfig.cs in the App_Start folder of an MVC Web API project in Visual Studio 2012?

Answer 1

There is no difference as they both accomplish the same thing - adding routes to your route collection. You don't need to use the WebApiConfig class; it's simply a convenient way to organize your code.
