Difference between .NET Core and .NET Framework
1.There are less difference in between .NET Core and .NET Framework. In this short post, let’s understand difference between .NET Core and .NET Framework.
Now .NET has two frame work
- .NET Framework
- .NET Core
The relationship between .NET Core and .NET Framework is like subset-super set respectively.
.NET Core is named “Core” since it contains the core features from the .NET Framework, for both the run-time and framework libraries.
.NET Core was created so that .NET could be open source, cross platform and be used in more resource-constrained environments.
So now you can build web application using ASP.NET Core 1.0 and you can target .NET Framework 4.6 and/or .NET Core. The .NET Framework 4.6 runs on top of Windows operating system, where .NET Core 1.0 is a cross platform framework and runs on top of Windows and Non-windows operating systems.
ASP.NET now also has 2 flavors.
- ASP.NET 4.6
- ASP.NET Core
ASP.NET 4.6 is upgraded version of ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core is completely a new platform to build cross platform applications and it was written from scratch.
Please note that .NET Core 1.0 doesn’t have all the features and functionality of .NET Framework 4.6 .
- I hope you got the basic difference between .NET Framework and .NET Core.
