What replaces WCF in .Net Core?

In this article we will learn about What replaces WCF in .Net Core?. I used to creating a .Net Framework console application via WCF service from scratch with Class Library (.Net Framework). I then use the console application to proxy call this function within the server. However if I use Console App (.Net Core) and a Class Library (.Net Core) the System.ServiceModel is not available.

Let's understand here what alternative of WCF in .Net Core.

WCF is not supported in .NET Core since it's a Windows specific technology and .NET Core is supposed to be cross-platform.

If you are implementing inter-process communication consider trying the IpcServiceFramework project.

It allows creating services in WCF style like this:

Create service contract

Implement the service

Host the service in Console application

Invoke the service from client process
