Adoption guide

Teams staying close to first-party ASP.NET Core primitives and minimal external framework layering.

ASP.NET Core guide
Why it appears in the guide: First-party OpenAPI generation support aligned with modern ASP.NET Core hosting patterns. Trade-off: Feature customization depth may require additional conventions or complementary packages.
