ASP.NET vs ASP.NET Core
ASP.NET Core is the next generation of ASP.NET. Many people are learning ASP.NET Core, most of them have already known ASP.NET. So I think it is good to have a summary of the different between them.
| ASP.NET | ASP.NET Core |
|---|---|
| IIS, Windows only | Kestrel, Windows, Mac, Linux |
| One version per machine | Multiple versions per machine |
| System.Web. Everything is included by default | No System.Web. Everything is Nuget packages. Excluded all by default |
| HTTP Modules, HTTP Handlers, Global.asax | Middlewares |
| MVC + Web API + Web Pages | ASP.NET MVC Core |
| Web.config | .json, .ini, environment variables, etc. |
| Child Actions (Html.Render) | View Components |
| Request validation | N/A |
| N/A | Tag Helpers |
| N/A | Build-in Dependency Injection |
| N/A | Build-in Logging API and Providers |
| N/A | Application Part |
| N/A | Dependency injection into views |
| N/A | A new way of localization with IStringLocalizer, IViewLocalizer |
| N/A | File Providers |
| N/A | WebSockets |
