ASF GitHub Bot commented on THRIFT-4535: ---------------------------------------- Github user Jens-G commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1524 Disclaimer: I did not look at every line and I did not look into the AppVeyor failure. Aside from one minor thing everything that I skimmed through LTGM, and my code still compiles :-) so I'm basically fine with. > Current state and future of .NET libraries ("csharp" and "netcore")? > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-4535 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4535 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Question > Components: C# - Library, netcore - Library > Reporter: Christian Weiss > Priority: Major > > Hi, > We are trying to use Thrift in one of our projects but we ran into some very > fundamental issues: > * The "csharp" project does not target ".NET Standard" and there's only a > very old release on nuget.org ( if [https://www.nuget.org/packages/Thrift/] > is the official one). > * The "netcore" project does target ".NET Standard" but there's no release > yet ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4512 ) and it also has a > dependency on ASP.NET Core ( > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4534 ) which makes it unusable > in non-web projects. > I'm wondering why there even are 2 separate projects for .NET? It's important > to understand that ".NET Core" is not a new programming API - It's just a new > platform - very similar to Silverlight, Mono, Windows Phone. This means that > it would also be possible to support .NET Core and the new ".NET Standard" > (which represents a common set of APIs for all platforms) with the existing > "csharp" project. > Was this a deliberate decision - e.g. to make the "netcore" code the official > successor of the "csharp" code? > Would you be interested in merging the code back into one library? I'd be > willing to help if you want! > It would be great to get one proper, up to date and official .NET library > soon as there's already quite a lot of weird forks on NuGet.org: > https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Thrift -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
