Default routing for web api project

When I create a new ASP.NET Core Web Application and choose API project template and run it, it routes to http://localhost:64221/weatherforecast. May I know where it configures the default routing to weatherforecast web api? In the configure method, I don't see any default routing to weatherforecast.

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
    {
        if (env.IsDevelopment())
        {
            app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
        }

        app.UseRouting();

        app.UseAuthorization();

        app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
        {
            endpoints.MapControllers();
        });
    }

In the Configure method of Startup class, you can find that endpoints.MapControllers() method is called, which only maps controllers that are decorated with routing attributes.

And in WeatherForecastControllerclass, you would find [Route("[controller]")] is applied to it, like below.

[ApiController]
[Route("[controller]")]
public class WeatherForecastController : ControllerBase
{

Besides, you can check the source code of MapControllers(IEndpointRouteBuilder) method and know how it works.

the route is configured in launchSettings.json , you can find it in properties enter image description here

and those are the attributes that you can change to get another route

"applicationUrl": "http://localhost:5002","launchUrl": "swagger",
