ASP.NET Core is a free and open-source web framework, and the next generation of ASP.NET, developed by Microsoft. It is a framework that runs on both the full .NET Framework, on Windows, and the cross-platform .NET Core.
The framework is brand new and unites the previously separate ASP.NET MVC and Web API into a single programming model. ASP.NET Core does have a high degree of concept compatibility with ASP.NET MVC.
