## What it is
An open-source Clean Architecture boilerplate template for ASP.NET Core 3.1 Web APIs, emphasizing loosely coupled, inverted-dependency design and clean-code practices. The project is no longer maintained; the author has moved development to the fullstackhero .NET 6 WebAPI boilerplate.

## Use cases
- scaffold a clean architecture ASP.NET Core web API
- learn clean architecture patterns in .NET
- start a REST API project with layered architecture
- reference template for dependency inversion in ASP.NET Core
- bootstrap a loosely coupled C# backend

## When to choose
- you need a stable ASP.NET Core 3.1 clean architecture starting point
- you want to study clean architecture implementation in C#
- you're maintaining a legacy .NET Core 3.1 codebase

## When to avoid
- you need .NET 6+ features or ongoing support - use the successor fullstackhero/dotnet-webapi-boilerplate
- you want a minimal, unopinionated project setup
- you need actively maintained security patches

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-framework, api-framework, http-server, middleware, routing
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools, apis
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
