Enums.NET is a high-performance, type-safe .NET enum utility library offering many enum operations as convenient extension methods. It improves on System.Enum with cached reflection, robust flag enum support, and easy attribute-based member metadata retrieval.

Use cases

• work with enums type-safely in C#
• get all members and values of an enum
• check if a flags enum has all or any of specified flags
• retrieve Description or Display attributes from enum members
• parse and format enum values efficiently
• validate enum values

When to choose

• you need faster, cached alternatives to System.Enum reflection calls
• you work heavily with flag enums and need clear all/any semantics
• you want to associate metadata attributes with enum members easily

When to avoid

• you only need basic enum operations already covered by System.Enum
• your project targets .NET Framework below 4.6.1 or .NET Standard 1.x
