ASP.NET 5 and Silverlight 5

Question

I am building simple LOB application (online restaurant reservation application) and i want to support multiple client side application types like web site, windows desktop application, android application etc. So i think that best way to design system is to separate ASP.NET 5 WebApi which will provide interaction with database, authorization and stuff like that and than build separate solution with projects for client applications which will consume that API. One of those client applications would be Silverlight application. Problem is, how i consume my API from Silverlight application. I can't find any information to link Silverlight with ASP.NET 5. All i got is MVC6 . Is it better to create . Is it better to create ASP.NET MVC6 application, implement my APIs there and host Sliverlight` in that project or to separate it like i described?

Answer 1

Silverlight is dead, but it can easily consume REST API so why cannot it work with ASP.NET Core 1.0?

There is no need to have special documentation.
