NOTE:
The .NET 5 is one of the biggest releases in the .NET platform history, and from this release onward there will be only one .NET no more core or .NET Framework, just one and only one .NET, and the developers will be able to use this framework to target Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, Web Assembly and many more. The important highlight of this release is a single .NET runtime and framework that can be used on any platform. The framework will have uniform runtime behaviors across various platforms. The .NET 5+ does not replace .NET Framework, however, Microsoft will focus on .NET 5+ as its main implementation of the .NET framework.
