The corefx repo contains the library implementation (called "CoreFX") for .NET
|
|
Core. It includes System.Collections, System.IO, System.Xml and many other
|
|
components. You can see more information in Documentation.
|
|
|
|
.NET Core is a modular implementation of .NET that can be used as the base
|
|
stack for a wide variety of scenarios, today scaling from console utilities to
|
|
web apps in the cloud.
|
|
|
|
Runtime-specific library code - namely mscorlib - lives in the CoreCLR repo. It
|
|
needs to be built and versioned in tandem with the runtime. The rest of CoreFX
|
|
is agnostic of runtime-implementation and can be run on any compatible .NET
|
|
runtime. These characteristics were the primary motivation for the 2-repo
|
|
structure.
