netstandard10

netstandard10 is a version of .NET Standard, an abstract set of APIs that is compatible across multiple .NET implementations. It was released in 2016 as part of the .NET Core 1.0 release. netstandard10 defines a baseline set of APIs that all .NET implementations can support. This allows developers to write libraries that can be consumed by .NET Framework, .NET Core, Xamarin, and other .NET platforms.

The primary goal of .NET Standard is to unify the .NET ecosystem. By targeting a specific .NET Standard version, developers can ensure their libraries will work on a wide range of .NET runtimes. netstandard10 represents an early and relatively small subset of the .NET API surface. It focused on fundamental functionalities required for many cross-platform libraries. Later versions of .NET Standard introduced more APIs, expanding compatibility and functionality. Understanding which .NET Standard version a library targets is crucial for determining its compatibility with different .NET projects.
