New features in ASP.NET 5

There are many new nice features in ASP.NET 5. In this article we will review about following two features.

1. New flexible and cross-platform runtime.
2. New Modular HTTP request pipeline

New Flexible and Cross-Platform Runtime

ASP.NET 5 can be run on three runtimes:

1. Full .NET CLR – It provides the entire API set and supports backward compatibility.
   
   
2. Core CLR (cloud-optimized runtime) – The Core CLR is a lean (just 11 MB) and modular runtime. Modularity helps to include those features on need basis.
   
   
3. Cross-Platform CLR – It is going to support Linux and Mac OS X

New Modular HTTP request pipeline

The new HTTP request pipeline is lean and fast. It provides better throughput. It also supports Open Web Interface for .NET (i.e. OWIN).
