Global exception handling in ASP.NET Core MVC is a centralized mechanism designed to catch and process any unhandled runtime exceptions that occur across an entire web application.
Rather than writing repetitive try-catch blocks inside every controller and action method, global exception handling intercepts errors at the application level.
This ensures that your application fails gracefully, logs the error securely, and presents a uniform, user-friendly response to the client. Core Benefits Clean Code: Eliminates code
duplication by handling unexpected application errors in a single location. Enhanced Security: Prevents sensitive system details, database schemas, and stack traces from leaking
to public users. Consistent User Experience: Routes users to custom, branded error pages or structured JSON error payloads (Problem Details).Centralized Logging: Provides
a reliable bottleneck to capture every unexpected failure for later diagnostics and monitoring. Implementation Approaches in ASP.NET Core MVCASP.NET Core provides
multiple native options to configure global error handling, moving sequentially down through the HTTP request pipeline.1. Exception Handling Middleware (UseExceptionHandler)
This is the recommended standard approach for most traditional MVC apps. When an unhandled exception occurs downstream, this middleware catches it, logs it, and re-executes
