.NET Core is a free and open-source software (FOSS) implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). It is a fork of the proprietary .NET Framework,[3] but it has been modified to be more modular and cross platform. It consists of CoreCLR, an implementation of the Common Language Runtime (CLR), and CoreFX, a partial implementation of the Base Class Library (BCL). Additionally, it comes with an improved JIT compiler, called RyuJIT.[4]
The project is hosted at GitHub.[5]
