Stateless is a C# library for creating state machines and lightweight state machine-based workflows directly in .NET code. It supports hierarchical states, entry/exit actions, guard clauses, parameterised triggers, and graph export.

Use cases

• model state machines in C# code
• build lightweight workflow engines in .NET
• implement hierarchical states with entry and exit actions
• add conditional transitions with guard clauses
• export state machine diagrams to DOT or mermaid
• store state machine state externally in an ORM-tracked property

When to choose

• you need a fluent, in-code state machine for a .NET application
• you want hierarchical states, guards, and parameterised triggers without external tooling
• you need to visualize state machines as DOT or mermaid graphs

When to avoid

• you need a full BPMN or durable workflow orchestration engine
• your project is not on the .NET platform
• you need distributed or long-running persisted workflows with human tasks
