What Is ASP.NET Core?

Posted on 06/18/2022 by Niko Venev

Simply put, ASP.NET Core is the new and improved version of ASP.NET, a Microsoft web development framework designed to create websites, microservices, and applications. When developers want to find a tool that will help them create impressive web pages and applications, ASP.NET inevitably becomes part of the conversation, and as ASP.NET's official successor, ASP.NET Core offers a number of feature-rich improvements over its legendary predecessor.

ASP.NET Core's Versatility and Flexibility

One of ASP.NET Core's major advantages over ASP.NET is its ability to be used in environments other than Windows. ASP.NET Core can be used with Macs as well as the respected Linux operating system. This type of functionality makes it attractive to developers who aren't tethered to particular platforms and want their work to reach as large of an audience as possible.

ASP.NET Core's cloud capabilities make it a perfect choice for those who want flexibility when working. Since ASP.NET Core can be hosted on several different systems, from the most basic to the advanced, developers at multiple levels can find it a good option. This is also one of the reasons why it's popular at the enterprise level.

 

What Is ASP.NET Core's Relationship to .NET?

As an added benefit, ASP.NET Core can work on the traditional .NET framework and its more advanced counterpart, .NET Core. Having the choice between these two frameworks can add even more versatility to ASP.NET Core for developers. This can be a boon for professionals who want to stretch their wings across several different projects. For those using ASP.NET, the migration process to ASP.NET Core may not be effortless, but it can be worth any slight inconvenience if they're interested in taking steps to future-proof projects. It should be noted, however, that the third version of ASP.NET Core is only functional with .NET Core.

 

Upgrades and Improvements in ASP.NET Core

ASP.NET Core boasts several convenient features that streamline professional developers' workflow. To begin with, the platform is extremely structured and organized. Users tend to breathe easily when they find out that they can work unimpeded due to ASP.NET Core's automatic filtering and use of layers. These features can allow them to pinpoint and tackle specific problems. They can also streamline cleanup processes or, in some cases, automatically perform those functions.

There's something to be said about tradition, and if employees who have a history with ASP.NET are more comfortable using a well-respected framework with a lot of history, ASP.NET is probably the choice for them. This is especially true for those who have experience with working with .NET. It's generally advised, however, that new developers or those who welcome change opt for learning ASP.NET Core. The latter has a reputation for regularly updating, and these upgrades tend to make the framework better and more efficient. Employees who are responsible for managing dependency-heavy projects would likely appreciate ASP.NET Core more than ASP.NET as well.
