Castle Core is a foundational .NET library providing logging service abstractions, the Castle DynamicProxy lightweight runtime proxy generator, and the DictionaryAdapter. It underpins other Castle Project tools and is widely used for interception and proxy-based scenarios such as mocking frameworks.
Use cases
- generate runtime proxies for interfaces and classes in .NET
- add method interception / AOP-style behavior to existing classes
- abstract logging behind a common facade with log4net or NLog
- adapt dictionaries to strongly typed property access
- support mocking frameworks that need dynamic proxy generation
When to choose
- you need runtime proxy generation or method interception on .NET
- you want a decoupled logging abstraction supporting multiple logging frameworks
- you are building or using tools like Castle Windsor or Moq that depend on DynamicProxy
When to avoid
- you need a full dependency injection container (use Castle Windsor instead)
- your project does not target .NET/.NET Framework
- you need source-generation-based proxies rather than runtime emission
