With ASP.NET Core web (and even .NET Core) applications, there is a project.json file. This JSON files schema is maintained in the schema-store where several variations exist. Additionally, this file was detailed here at one point in time but now suggests it will be updated here.

Is there a comprehensive breakdown of all the various frameworks available, and a corresponding description of what they contain?

You can find them listed on the NuGet Target Frameworks page, and additional ones for .NET Core on their GitHub page. There are too many to list here, but here are a few related to this question:

.NET Core

  • netcore
  • netcore45
  • netcore451
  • netcore50

.NET Framework

  • net451
  • net452
  • net46
  • net461

DNX

  • dnx
  • dnx45
  • dnx451
  • dnx452

DNX Core

  • dnxcore
  • dnxcore50

You can find some good information on the rest of the project.json values here. Please keep in mind that it may be a little out of date with the release of RC2.
