Why Use Asp.Net Core?

Cross platform - It can run on windows, Linux and Mac.
Better performance - Asp.net core does not depend on system.web.dll for communication between Browser-server. In Asp.net core everything is packages which we need for our application. Packages reduce the request pipeline and improve application performance.
Dependency Injection - Dependency Injection is in-built in Asp.Net Core.
Integration with Modern UI Frameworks - It supports modern UI like Angular, ReactJS and Bootstrap, etc.
Hosting - Asp.Net Core application can be hosted on multiple Web server such as IIS, Apache, Docker, etc. It is not dependent on IIS.
Open Source - It is fully open-source framework.
Testability - Unit testing is very easy in Asp.Net core application.
Side-by-side App Versioning - Asp.Net Core runs on .NET Core, which supports simultaneously running in multiple versions of applications.
Unified Programming Model for MVC and Web API - In Asp.Net Core both MVC Controller and API Controller Inherit from the same controller base class.
