.Net Core

.NET Core

The .NET Core Framework is a new, lightweight and modular platform developed by Microsoft and community for building cross-platform applications and services. It implements the .NET Standard protocol to target all platforms in order to deliver a unified experience.

Components

.NET Compiler Platform (Roslyn)

Known by its nickname Roslyn, is a set of open-source compilers and code analysis APIs for C# and Visual Basic .NET languages from Microsoft. It exposes modules for syntactic (lexical) analysis of code, semantic analysis, dynamic compilation to CIL, and code emission.

CoreCLR

A complete runtime and virtual machine for managed execution of .NET programs. It includes a just-in-time compiler called RyuJIT, the .Net GC, and many other components.

CoreFX

The foundational class libraries for .NET Core. It includes types for collections, file systems, console, JSON, XML, async and many others.

ASP.NET Core

An open-source, cross-platform framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

When To Use When Not To Use

When to Use

  • You have cross-platform needs.
  • You are targeting microservices.
  • You are using Docker containers.
  • You need high-performance and scalable systems.
  • You need side-by-side .Net versions per application.

When Not to Use

  • You need to create a WCF service.
  • You need to access Windows specific APIs.
  • Win Form & WPF support is still being added (from .Net 3.0)
  • Not all 3rd party libraries are supported.
  • Need Code Access Security.

Features

The .NET Standard

The .NET Standard is a set of APIs that all .NET platforms have to implement. It solves the code sharing problem for .NET developers across all platforms by bringing all the APIs across the environments that are needed.
