OpenAPI difference between CSharp and CSharp-NetCore generator

OpenAPI generator offers two C# generators csharp and csharp-netcore. What might be the difference between them? I could not spot it by looking at the generated code.

Solution

  • csharp only supports old .net framework such as 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 while csharp-netcore supports the newer framework:

            netstandard1.3 - .NET Standard 1.3 compatible
        netstandard1.4 - .NET Standard 1.4 compatible
        netstandard1.5 - .NET Standard 1.5 compatible
        netstandard1.6 - .NET Standard 1.6 compatible
        netstandard2.0 - .NET Standard 2.0 compatible
        netstandard2.1 - .NET Standard 2.1 compatible
        netcoreapp2.0 - .NET Core 2.0 compatible
        netcoreapp2.1 - .NET Core 2.1 compatible
        netcoreapp3.0 - .NET Core 3.0 compatible
        netcoreapp3.1 - .NET Core 3.1 compatible

    You can run openapi-generator config-help -g csharp or openapi-generator config-help -g csharp-netcore to find out more about these generators.

    UPDATE: csharp-netcore was renamed to csharp in v7.0.0 release.
