Adoption guide
Most ASP.NET Core and worker services that prioritize low ceremony and first-party integration.
Why it appears in the guide: Built-in DI container abstractions and implementation used by the default .NET hosting model. Trade-off: Advanced container features are intentionally minimal compared with full-featured third-party containers.
Compatibility metadata lists 4 target frameworks; 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.
