CoreWF is a port of Microsoft's Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) runtime to .NET 6, allowing multi-step workflows composed of activities to be defined in code or XAML and executed cross-platform. It is a derivative work maintained by UiPath and distributed as the UiPath.Workflow NuGet package.

Use cases

  • run Windows Workflow Foundation workflows on .NET 6
  • execute XAML-defined workflows cross-platform
  • build multi-step activity-based workflows in C#
  • migrate legacy WF apps off .NET Framework
  • embed a workflow engine in a .NET application

When to choose

  • you have existing WF/XAML workflows that need to run on modern .NET
  • you need a code-first or XAML workflow runtime on Linux or macOS
  • you want an MIT-licensed workflow engine for .NET 6

When to avoid

  • you need the visual drag-and-drop workflow designer, which is not included
  • you are starting a new project and can use a lighter-weight workflow library
  • you need full parity with all .NET Framework WF features, as some limitations exist
