				.NET Core is a free and open-source managed software framework. It consists of
				CoreCLR, a complete runtime implementation of CLR, the virtual machine that
				manages the execution of .NET programs. CoreCLR comes with an improved
				just-in-time compiler, called RyuJIT. .NET Core also includes CoreFX, which is
				a partial fork of FCL. While .NET Core shares a subset of .NET Framework APIs,
				it comes with its own API that is not part of .NET Framework. Further,
				.NET Core contains CoreRT, the .NET Native runtime optimized to be integrated
				into AOT compiled native binaries. A variant of the .NET Core library is used
				for UWP. .NET Core's command-line interface offers an execution entry point
				for operating systems and provides developer services like compilation and
				package management.

				.NET Core supports four cross-platform scenarios: ASP.NET Core web apps,
				command-line apps, libraries, and Universal Windows Platform apps. It does not
				implement Windows Forms or WPF which render the standard GUI for desktop
				software on Windows. .NET Core is also modular, meaning that instead of
				assemblies, developers work with NuGet packages. Unlike .NET Framework, which
				is serviced using Windows Update, .NET Core relies on its package manager to
				receive updates.
