With the\u00c2\u00a0release<\/a> of\u00c2\u00a0NET Core<\/a>, the acquisition\u00c2\u00a0of Xamarin<\/a> and Mono, and the 15 or so years of development of the NET Framework<\/a>, we now have three platforms to choose from for C#. Why are there three platforms? What are the differences between each? And, what is the performance of the three to each other?\u00c2\u00a0From the NET Core Roadmap<\/a>, it’s clear that Microsoft is trying to focus on OS-agnostic implementations of NET.<\/p>\n

NET Framework is for Windows desktop and mobile applications. The NET Framework is specific for Windows because it has Windows UI functionality. If you want an application that works across different OSes, then this won’t be your choice.<\/p>\n

NET Core is for console and server applications that need to work on any OS. Also, a focus of the NET Core framework is small size\/efficient applications. The first release was only a month ago, and there are many things missing. If you need UI beyond System.Console, look to one of the other two platforms.<\/p>\n

Finally, Mono\/Xamarin is for mobile applications. Mono can also run NET Framework console applications on most OSes without changes. On Android, C# and Java can call each other. If you have a large Java code base, this is a good choice. Xamarin Forms is an OS-independent UI for mobile devices.<\/p>\n

What are the\u00c2\u00a0differences in performance between NET Framework, NET Core, and Mono? The following test computes the performance of a recursive implementation of Ackermann’s function and a looping implementation of a Fibonacci function. If you are looking for performance of in a console application, NET Core is your choice.<\/p>\n
