## What it is
Equinox Project is an open-source ASP.NET 9 reference web application demonstrating Clean Architecture, DDD, CQRS, Event Sourcing, and other best practices in C#. It serves as a learning template showing how to structure real-world .NET applications with modern tooling like EF Core, ASP.NET Identity, JWT, and Swagger.

## Use cases
- learn clean architecture in .NET
- example of DDD with CQRS in ASP.NET Core
- template for structuring an ASP.NET 9 web application
- see event sourcing implemented in .NET
- reference for JWT authentication with ASP.NET Identity
- starting point for a layered .NET Core API project

## When to choose
- you want a well-maintained reference implementation of Clean Architecture and DDD patterns in .NET
- you are learning CQRS, domain events, or event sourcing in ASP.NET Core
- you need a boilerplate with JWT auth, EF Core, and Swagger already wired up
- you want a runnable sample with SQLite and automatic migrations for quick experimentation

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready application rather than an educational reference
- your project uses a stack other than .NET/C#
- you prefer minimal scaffolding without opinionated architecture patterns
- you rely on AutoMapper or MediatR, since this project replaced them with custom alternatives
