- ASP.NET Core on .NET Core is cross-platform ASP.NET Core. It can run on Windows, Mac, and Linux (including Docker). The server doesn’t need .NET Core installed – the dependencies can be bundled with the application.
ASP.NET Core ships entirely as NuGet packages. This allows you to optimize your app to include only the necessary NuGet packages. In fact, ASP.NET Core 2.x apps targeting .NET Core only require a single NuGet package. The benefits of a smaller app surface area include tighter security, reduced servicing, and improved performance.
It is not required to install .Net framework to run asp.net core with .net core application. An ASP.NET Core application with .net core is a console app that creates a web server in its Main method. It uses Kestrel web server to run the application.
- ASP.NET Core on .NET Framework is ASP.NET Core on the “full” or “desktop” .NET Framework (e.g. .NET Framework 4.6.2). These applications can only run on Windows, but everything else about ASP.NET Core behaves the same way. It also supports Aspx, WPF, WCF and WebServices.
