ASP.NET Core is a unified, cross-platform framework designed for building scalable web applications and services. It provides a comprehensive environment for constructing server-side rendered applications, real-time communication services, and interactive web components using C# and .NET.
The framework distinguishes itself through a modular architecture that centers on a built-in dependency injection container, which manages service lifecycles and component modularity to improve testability. It utilizes a middleware pipeline to process requests and employs policy-based authorization to secure endpoints, ensuring that access control and cross-cutting concerns are handled consistently across the application.
Beyond its core structure, the platform supports bidirectional real-time data streaming and contract-based service routing for distributed systems. These capabilities allow developers to define typed interfaces for remote procedure calls and maintain persistent connections between servers and clients for live updates.
This repository serves as the official technical documentation for the framework, providing guidance on implementing these features and managing application security, configuration, and deployment.
