Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection

Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection is combined with a core DI abstraction under Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions that allows for building different kinds of dependency injection containers to retrieve services from that have been registered with different lifetimes.

Documentation can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/extensions/dependency-injection.

Contribution Bar

• We consider new features, new APIs, bug fixes, and performance changes
