Can we replace ASP.NET MVC with ASP.NET Web API

Question

I am new to the ASP.NET Web API and while learning, a question comes in mind that can i replace ASP.NET MVC with ASP.NET WEB API .For instance let's say I am creating small application by using:

UI Will be in : ASP.NET/HTML Controls, JavaScript,CSS.
Server side code : ASP.NET MVC.
Back End : SQL Server.

Now Can I use Web API instead of ASP.NET MVC and my new stack will be like:

UI : HTML , JavaScript,CSS.
Server side code: ASP.NET Web API.
Back End : SQL Server.

if you are looking for yes/no answer, yes you can

Yes, you can. Might be recommended if you don’t plan on using any of the views that can be returned from MVC. With WebAPI you’ll be handling JSON in the client.
