Entity Framework is Microsoft's recommended data access technology for new applications in .NET.
Entity Framework Core (EF Core) provides a familiar developer experience to previous versions of Entity Framework, including LINQ, POCO, Migrations and Code First support. EF Core also enables access to data across relational and non-relational stores. EF Core is much more lightweight than previous versions and is built from the ground up to work great in the cloud (using ASP.NET vNext) on devices (i.e. in universal Windows apps) as well as in traditional .NET scenarios. You can find the latest documentation on EF Core here
