About

Microsoft ASP.NET Core is an open-source, cross-platform web framework and the successor to ASP.NET that enables development of web apps and APIs using .NET on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

It offers high performance via the Kestrel server, built-in dependency injection, unified MVC and Web API programming, minimal APIs, flexible configuration per environment, and side-by-side versioning.

Rack is a minimal, modular interface and invocation convention that operates between Ruby web servers and web applications to standardize how HTTP requests and responses are exchanged.

It translates raw HTTP requests into a CGI-style environment defined by RFC 3875, supports middleware stacking for step-by-step request and response processing, and is implemented by servers such as Phusion Passenger, Puma, Unicorn, and Thin.
