What is .NET Standard?

on YouTube ↗52m

" summary

Defines a single API contract that all platforms implement instead of dozens of PCL profiles, shrinking profile chaos into versioned targets (recommend targeting the lowest version needed). Claims netstandard 2.0 expands from ~13,500 to 33,000 APIs and unlocks most NuGet packages by allowing a netstandard lib to reference legacy .NET Framework assemblies (demo compiles and runs, but causes runtime failures when APIs like System.Configuration are missing). Covers porting with dotnet apiport, shows examples (FakeItEasy, NServiceBus) and labels dotnet standard 2.0 as the practical baseline.
