So
far as part of this series we have learned about .NET Platform (.NET
Ecosystem), .NET Framework & .NET Core (.NET 5+). Now lets look at
the major differences between .NET Framework & .NET Core.
The
.NET development platform supports the development of many types of
applications with multiple programming languages and also provides
libraries for the development of these applications along with runtime
for the execution of these applications on user machines.
It is
critical to understand the difference between .NET Framework & .NET
Core before you make a choice for the Framework to create a new project
using Visual Studio.
.NET Platform provides majorly 3 different implementation to choose from i.e. .NET Framework, .NET Core (.NET 5+) and Xamarin.
Xamarin
is the only choice when it comes to developing mobile applications for
iOS or Android so there is no confusion with the platform for the
development of mobile applications.
.NET Framework
is a platform provided by Microsoft for software developers and this
developer platform consists of runtime services, base class libraries
that can be used in your code, various tools to support software
development tasks and also this platform supports more than one
programming language to choose from.
.NET Core
now known as .NET is a free, open-source, cross-platform development
platform created and maintained by Microsoft for building various types
of applications for the users. .NET Core platform is also being
maintained by the .NET community on GitHub along with Microsoft.
Below
is the comparison between the .NET Framework vs .Net Core based on
various parameters that are important for the development, deployment
& maintenance of any type of application.
Below
are the version number of the Frameworks that are included in the
different implementations of the .NET i.e. .NET Framework & .NET
Core
.NET Implementation | .NET Framework | Versions Included |
.NET Framework | .NET Framework | 1.0 – 4.8 |
.NET Core | .NET Core | 1.0 – 3.1, .NET 5+ (includes .NET 5 and later versions) |
.NET
Core supports multiple platforms like Windows, macOS & Linux
whereas .NET Framework-based applications support only the Windows
platforms.
.NET Implementation | Platforms Supported |
.NET Framework | Windows |
.NET Core | Windows, macOS and Linux |
Programming Languages
Both
.NET Framework & .NET Core supports C#, Visual Basic & F#
programming languages for development but .NET core does not support
Visual Basic & F# for all project types
Visual Studio can be used for .NET Framework & .NET Core based application types as it provides an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Windows and macOS. You can also use Visual Studio Code for .NET Core based applications, which runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. it also include IntelliSense and debugging.
.NET
Core was developed with a goal to keep it open source as the new trend
in the industry was open source software and .NET Framework was not open
source. However, Certain components of .NET Framework are open source
So far we saw what is .NET Framework & .NET Core and we also understood the differences between .NET Framework vs .NET Core. Now let’s understand in detail when to choose .NET Framework vs .NET Core and vice-versa.
The following is the list of technologies that are available on .NET Framework but not supported on .NET Core
Scenarios to choose .NET Core
