Adoption guide
Teams that want clearer feature-based endpoint grouping while keeping ASP.NET Core fundamentals.
Why it appears in the guide: Adds lightweight modular organization for ASP.NET Core endpoints with minimal ceremony. Trade-off: Still requires disciplined architecture conventions for large codebases.
Compatibility metadata lists 1 target framework; confirm the exact target used by your application.
How to read this guidance
Sources: published NuGet v3 registry metadata and explicit NuBrowse editorial guides. Refresh: package metadata is refreshed from NuGet when the page loads. Limit: this is not a security, legal or compatibility guarantee; validate the selected version in your project.
Useful next steps
Move from package metadata to a concrete selection or review workflow.
