Difference Between .NET Framework and .NET Core
The major difference between .NET Core and .NET Framework.
.NET Framework:-
- It was made available as a licensed and proprietary software framework. Later, Microsoft made some of its components open source.
- It allows users to create applications for a single platform - Windows.
- It must be set up as a single package and run-time environment for Windows.
- It uses CLR for managing libraries and compilation purposes.
- If utilizing Web applications with .NET Framework, users can employ a robust Web application framework, such as ASP.NET.
- With the .NET Framework, users must deploy Web applications only on an Internet Information Server.
- It has extensive APIs for creating cloud-based applications.
- It does not have any robust framework or tools to simplify mobile app development.
- It provides few options for developing microservice-oriented systems as compared to .NET Core.
- It requires additional infrastructure to be installed to achieve scalability.
- It can use all the features in the .NET Framework.
.NET Core:-
- Microsoft released .NET Core as an open-source software framework.
- .NET Core is cross-platform and can accommodate three different OSes - Windows, OS X, and Linux.
- As it is cross-platform, it can be packaged and set up irrespective of the underlying OS.
- It utilizes a redesigned CLR known as CoreCLR and presents a modular collection of libraries known as CoreFX.
- It has a redesigned version of ASP.NET.
- The Web applications created with ASP.NET Core can be run in several ways. These applications can be deployed directly in the Cloud or users can self-host them by creating specific hosting processes.
- It has features that ease the creation and deployment of Cloud-based applications.
- It is compatible with Xamarin via the .NET Standard Library. Hence, users can exploit Xamarin to script cross-platform mobile apps in C# using a shared code base and the same set of APIs.
- It allows the creation of microservice-oriented systems rapidly.
- It is more effective when compared to the .NET Framework in terms of enhancing the performance and scalability of applications without having to deploy extra hardware or infrastructure.
- It does not support all the features and functionalities offered by the latest version of the .NET Framework.
