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.

Ruby on Rails is a full-stack framework that includes everything needed to build database-driven web applications using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.

It emphasizes a standardized folder structure and naming, follows DRY ("don't repeat yourself") and the "convention over configuration" principles, provides an Active Record ORM, a built-in asset pipeline for CSS and JavaScript preprocessing, and an integrated testing framework.
