FileContextCore

FileContextCore is a "Database"-Provider for Entity Framework Core and adds the ability to store information in files instead of being limited to databases. It enables fast developments because of the advantage of just copy, edit and delete files.

This framework bases on the idea of FileContext by DevMentor (https://github.com/pmizel/DevMentor.Context.FileContext)

Advantages

  • No database needed
  • easy configuration
  • rapid data-modelling, -modification
  • share data through version-control
  • supports all serializable .NET types
  • integrated seamlessly into EF Core
  • diferrent serializer supported (XML, JSON, CSV, Excel)
  • supports encryption
  • supports relations

!This extension is not intended to be used in production systems!
