## What it is
JavaScriptServices was a set of NuGet/NPM packages and dotnet templates integrating client-side SPA frameworks (Angular, React, Vue) with ASP.NET Core, including server-side prerendering, Webpack dev middleware, and hot module replacement. The repository is archived and its features are obsolete as of ASP.NET Core 3.0, superseded by Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.Extensions.

## Use cases
- build a single page application with ASP.NET Core and Angular
- server-side render React components in a .NET app
- add webpack hot module replacement to an ASP.NET Core project
- run Node.js packages from C# code at runtime
- scaffold an ASP.NET Core SPA template with dotnet new

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy ASP.NET Core 2.x app already built on JavaScriptServices
- studying how SPA integration with .NET worked historically

## When to avoid
- starting any new ASP.NET Core project - use Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.Extensions instead
- you need support or updates - the repo is archived and obsolete since ASP.NET Core 3.0
