I am trying to gauge if Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is something I can use for extending an ASP.NET Core 2.x MVC website. I saw ExtCore also. My desire is to use it to build infrastructure for plugins in my application.
What I cannot figure out is if MEF is legacy from Silverlight or if MEF is what Core actually uses for it's IoC. I know MEF is in CoreFX, but that's all I know for sure.
I'd like to use MS's IoC DI here if it is viable and not legacy. Is MEF legacy or is it used by Core itself?
Some questions I looked at, most were very old,
Is there a replacement for MEF in .NET Core (or ASP.NET 5)
In ASP.NET Core, does the IoC ASP Startup Class solve what the Managed Extensibility Framework solved with a catalog and container?
(The last one is a question I asked at the end of 2016.)
