OwlCore

Have you ever seen an owl do a barrel roll? Me neither.

Essential supplemental tooling for .NET development.

Included in this package

• OwlCore.Storage: The fundamental concepts of files and folders carefully abstracted into standard interfaces. Interact with Local Disk, Cloud Storage, Blob Storage, protocol-based storage, and even 100% in-memory storage, all using the same interfaces.
• OwlCore.Extensions: A collection of exceptionally useful extension methods.
• OwlCore.ComponentModel: Provides classes used to implement the run-time behavior of components. SettingsBase, IDelegatable{T}, IAsyncInit, etc.
• OwlCore.AbstractUI - Abstracts simple UI elements as pure data. Send over a network, store on disk, share between platforms, etc. Make something else worry about rendering and interacting.
• Much more not listed, much more to come.

Also available

• OwlCore.Remoting: A extremely lightweight and flexible RPC framework for .NET Standard 2.0.
• OwlCore.Kubo: A library of essential tooling for Kubo, the earliest and most widely used implementation of IPFS.

License

We’re using the MIT license for 3 reasons:

1. We're here to share useful code. You may use any part of it freely, as the MIT license allows.
2. A library is no place for viral licensing.
3. Ease of use. Forking code files or snippets for essential tooling shouldn't require a license transfer.
