About

Microsoft ASP.NET is a server-side web application framework that runs on the .NET platform and enables developers to build dynamic websites and APIs using languages like C#.

It offers Web Forms, MVC, Web Pages, Web API, and SignalR for real-time communication, includes tools for authentication, state management, and supports the Razor template syntax for combining HTML and server-side code.

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.
