CoreEx provides enriched capabilities for building business services by extending the core capabilities of .NET.
The CoreEx solution is divided into a number of projects, with CoreEx providing the core/shared capabilities, with additional projects enabling other related capabilities that can optionally be included within the final consuming solution.
CoreEx at its core is a non-opinionated framework, meaning that it is not intended to be all-or-nothing, or drive a particular architectural style, but provide building block capabilities that can be leveraged as required to simplify development, and add extended/richer/consistent functionality with minimal effort.
