Migrate project to .net 8 #133
Description
Migrating from .NET Standard to .NET 8.0 provides multiple benefits:
- Long-term support (LTS): .NET 8 is the latest LTS release, ensuring updates and security patches.
- Performance improvements: Significant runtime and JIT optimizations make apps faster and more efficient.
- Modern APIs: Access to the full set of modern .NET APIs not available in .NET Standard.
- Active ecosystem: Libraries and tooling are focused on current .NET versions, while .NET Standard is in maintenance mode.
- Simpler development: Unifies the framework target, reducing compatibility shims and legacy constraints.
