how work routing in "asp.net core web application"

Question

I created a new "asp.net core web application" project. NOT MVC!.

i see in the stratup.cs, in configure method:

app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "default",
        template: "{controller}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});

question a: the url mapped directly to razor pages ('/Index' => /Pages/Index.cshtml). and there is no IController in the entire project, What the routing of MVC doing here?

quetstion b: if i want additionaly custom routing, can I do this without turn all routing to MVC methodology?

answers to both questions exist in documentation: Routing in ASP.NET Core and Routing to Controller Actions — Set

you can remove the routes.MapRoute part and pages will still work — Shyju

Razor pages are a feature of ASP.Net MVC, hence the dependency on certain services and middleware, but they offer a lightweight alternative to the traditional Model-Controller-View approach. A Razor view represents the View and a code-behind class represents the Model and Controller.

By convention:

/Pages/Index.cshtml routes to / or /Index
/Pages/Contact.cshtml routes to /Contact
/Pages/Store/Contact.cshtml routes to /Store/Contact

For a full answer, you should probably read the documentation.
