@Jens-G THRIFTCORE is a simple pre-processor directive which when set
excludes files which require dependency on external libraries in .NET Standard,
essentially producing a minimal library of Thrift.
At the moment you have csharp library for .NET 3.5 and 4.5. Then, there is
another library for .NET Core which to be honest is completely useless as it
downloads so many dependencies that it's impossible to use in any web project
as they quickly become conflicting. Ideally there must be just one single .NET
project which cross-compiles to both .NET classic and .NET Standard. There is
no need for .NET Core as .NET Standard covers it (is it maybe coming from
misunderstanding of library creators in differences between .net core and .net
standard?).
All I'm adding is a new project referencing all existing files. The project
simply excludes stuff which is not covered by least common denominator of .NET
Standard 1.4, 1.6 and .NET 4.5, but allows you to use Thrift on any device.
This can be carefully extended further to support all Thrift features. however
it's more complicated with .NET Standard as unlike .NET it doesn't have all
socketing, networking etc. built in and needs external references.
I would suggest though having 1 main package with core functionality as I
just did, and adding more libraries which implement specific features (sockets,
web http etc.) as they require specific dependencies.
