What is ASP.NET Core?
Microsoft’s new web framework is called ASP.NET Core. For.NET web development, you’ll want to use the ASP.NET Core framework.
ASP.NET Core is built to allow runtime components, APIs, compilers, and languages to change at a rapid pace while still offering a stable and supported platform on which to execute applications.
On the same server, multiple versions of ASP.NET Core can coexist. As a result, one app can upgrade to the latest version while others remain on the version that was tested.
ASP.NET Core offers a variety of support lifecycle choices to match your app’s needs. You can choose between a long-term support release and the most recent release if you plan to upgrade more frequently.
ASP.NET Core includes:
- Support for C#, F#, and Visual Basic programming languages
- Editors and tools for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Docker
- Base libraries for working with strings, dates, files/IO, etc.
- Different computer operating systems, mobile devices, and even game consoles are all supported cross-platform.
