  The FileHelpers are a **free and easy to use** .NET library to read/write data from fixed length or delimited records in files, strings or streams.

### Current support for .NET Standard / .NET Core

Support for .NET Core is available through .NET Standard.
Since version 3.3.0 **support** for **.NET Standard 2.0** is available!

There is a FileHelpers dll targeting .NET Standard 2.0 in the FileHelpers NuGet package.

The **.NET Standard FileHelpers** dll is a **subset** of the **.NET Framework FileHelpers** dll.
The .NET Standard FileHelpers dll contains:
* FileHelperEngine
* MasterDetailEngine
* Attributes
* Converters
* Events
* ErrorManager
* Sorting of big files

The .NET Standard FileHelpers dll currently does **not** contain the following features:
* Dynamic: ClassBuilder and CsvClassBuilder. ClassBuilder is difficult to maintain and a rewrite in
  .NET Core / Standard as is, would require to reference three NuGet packages. There must be better
  ways to write record structures at runtime.
* SmartFormatDetector: depends on ClassBuilder (Dynamic).
* DataLink: code was very old and seemed not worth maintaining.

We do not have any plans to port the FileHelpers.ExcelNPOIStorage nor FileHelpers.ExcelStorage to .NET Core or .NET Standard.
