.NET Core internals

.NET Core contains two core components—the runtime CoreCLR and the base-class libraries CoreFX. In this section, we will cover the following topics:

• CoreFX
• CoreCLR
• Understanding MSIL, CLI, CTS, and CLS
• How CLR works
• From compilation to execution—under the hood
• Garbage collection
• .NET Native and JIT compilation

CoreFX

CoreFX is the code name of .NET Core's set of libraries. It contains all the libraries that start with Microsoft.* or System.*and contains collections, I/O, string manipulation, reflection, security, and many more features.

The CoreFX is runtime agnostic, and it can run on any platform regardless of what APIs it supports.
