ASP.NET Core support

Sitefinity NextGen provides out-of-the-box support for the ASP.NET Core framework for frontend development. A decoupled ASP.NET Core Renderer in Sitefinity NextGen enables you to take advantage of a three-tier application architecture. More advantages are described below:

• Performance and efficiency
  ASP.NET Core is designed for superior performance and efficiency. It features faster request handling and optimized memory usage, which significantly improves the responsiveness of web applications. This is especially beneficial for content-heavy platforms like Sitefinity, where speed directly impacts user experience and SEO rankings.
• Cross-platform and headless capabilities
  ASP.NET Core supports cross-platform development and headless CMS mode. This allows developers to decouple the frontend from the backend, enabling more flexible integrations and independent scaling of services. It also simplifies deployment across various environments, including cloud and containerized setups.
• Security and scalability
  ASP.NET Core includes built-in support for the latest security standards, such as HTTPS enforcement, cookie security, and trusted site allow lists. Its multi-tiered architecture supports scalable solutions, making it easier to adapt to growing business needs without major rework.
• Developer productivity
  The framework offers enhanced tooling, reusable components, and CLI-based scaffolding that streamline development workflows. Developers also benefit from faster development cycles - with Hot Reload, code changes appear instantly upon save. Additionally, the headless CMS mode reduces the learning curve allowing developers to onboard quickly without specialized platform-specific knowledge.
• SEO and future-proofing your Sitefinity projects
  Server-side rendering (SSR) in ASP.NET Core improves search engine rankings while preserving content quality. This is a major upgrade over traditional client-side rendering. Moreover, using ASP.NET Core framework helps reduce technical debt and simplifies the adoption of future innovations without significant rework.
• Content management efficiency
  A new easy-to-use Content model editor, powered by ASP.NET Core, has been introduced with Sitefinity NextGen. It helps you craft the content structure of your site to accommodate your specific content requirements. Content editors can create custom content types, as well as define and include various data type fields.
