ClearScript is a library that makes it easy to add scripting to your .NET applications. It currently supports JavaScript (via V8 and JScript) and VBScript.

Analyzers for consumers of Microsoft.CodeAnalysis NuGet package, i.e. extensions and applications built on top of .NET Compiler Platform (Roslyn). This package is included as a development dependency of Microsoft.CodeAnalysis NuGet package and does not need to be installed separately if you are referencing Microsoft.CodeAnalysis NuGet package.

.NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn") support for C#, Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.dll.

Contains all the .NET code analysis rules (CAxxxx) that are built into the .NET SDK starting .NET5 release. The documentation for CA rules can be found at learn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/code-quality/code-analysis-for-managed-code-warnings.

Entity Framework Core (EF Core) is a modern object-database mapper that lets you build a clean, portable, and high-level data access layer with .NET (C#) across a variety of databases, including SQL Server (on-premises and Azure), SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Azure Cosmos DB. It supports LINQ queries, change tracking, updates, and schema migrations.

The Entity Framework Core tools help with design-time development tasks. They're primarily used to manage Migrations and to scaffold a DbContext and entity types by reverse engineering the schema of a database.

The Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design package is required for either command-line or Package Manager Console-based tooling, and is a dependency of dotnet-ef and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools.

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.InMemory is the EF Core database provider package for the built-in in-memory database.

This database provider allows Entity Framework Core to be used with an in-memory database. While it has become common to use the in-memory database for testing, this is discouraged. For more information on how to test EF Core applications, see Testing EF Core Applications.

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer is the EF Core database provider package for Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL.

The Entity Framework Core tools help with design-time development tasks. They're primarily used to manage Migrations and to scaffold a DbContext and entity types by reverse engineering the schema of a database.

This package, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools is for PowerShell tooling that works in the Visual Studio Package Manager Console (PMC).

The Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation libraries

Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation is a set of .NET libraries defined in the following NuGet packages that have been designed to work together to support building processes for evaluating the quality of AI software.

• Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation - Defines core abstractions and types for supporting evaluation.
• Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.Quality - Contains evaluators that can be used to evaluate the quality of AI responses in your projects including Relevance, Truth, Completeness, Fluency, Coherence, Retrieval, Equivalence and Groundedness.
• Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.Safety - Contains a set of evaluators that are built atop the Azure AI Foundry Evaluation service that can be used to evaluate the content safety of AI responses in your projects including Protected Material, Groundedness Pro, Ungrounded Attributes, Hate and Unfairness, Self Harm, Violence, Sexual, Code Vulnerability and Indirect Attack.
• Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.Reporting - Contains support for caching LLM responses, storing the results of evaluations and generating reports from that data.
• Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.Reporting.Azure - Supports the Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.Reporting library with an implementation for caching LLM responses and storing the evaluation results in an Azure Storage container.
• Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.Console - A command line dotnet tool for generating reports and managing evaluation data.
