Is there any difference between the Ok() method new ObjectResult()?

Question

Scenario: implementing a standard REST API / GET method on a .net core controller.

The documentation states that OkObjectResult is an ObjectResult with status 200. T

Answer 1

Update: Both approaches in the original question + the third approach in the accepted answer has now been superseded by simply returning the object directly:

 return myResult

Relevant example and explanation from the current tutorial page:

[HttpGet("{id}")]
public async Task> GetTodoItem(long id)
{
    var todoItem = await _context.TodoItems.FindAsync(id);    
    if (todoItem == null)
    {
        return NotFound();
    }    
    return todoItem;
}

The return type of the GetTodoItems and GetTodoItem methods is ActionResult< T > type. ASP.NET Core automatically serializes the object to JSON and writes the JSON into the body of the response message. The response code for this return type is 200, assuming there are no unhandled exceptions. Unhandled exceptions are translated into 5xx errors.
