The official documentation source for Entity Framework Core and Entity Framework 6, published on Microsoft Learn. It covers tutorials, fundamentals, database providers, and release planning for Microsoft's .NET object-relational mapper.

Use cases

• ef core tutorials for accessing a sql server database
• how to configure dbcontext and connection strings in ef core
• entity framework core database providers for sqlite postgresql mysql
• ef core schema migrations and change tracking guide
• ef core release dates and support lifecycle

When to choose

• you are building .NET applications that need data access via an ORM and want official guidance
• you need tutorials for EF Core with SQL Server, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Azure Cosmos DB
• you want to check EF Core version support timelines or what's new in each release
• you want to file documentation issues or submit pull requests for EF docs

When to avoid

• you need to file or fix a product bug in EF Core or EF6 itself - use the dotnet/efcore or dotnet/ef6 repos

• you need ORM documentation for non-.NET ecosystems like Java, Python, or Ruby
