Entity Framework Core Interview Questions

What Is Entity Framework Core?
Entity Framework (EF) Core is a lightweight, extensible, and cross-platform version of Entity Framework.

Entity Framework Core (EF Core) is a complete rewrite of EF6 that was first released in 2016. It ships in Nuget packages, the main one being Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.

Entity Framework (EF) Core is a lightweight, extensible, open source and cross-platform version of the popular Entity Framework data access technology.

EF Core was designed to provide a developer experience similar to EF6.
Most of the top-level APIs remain the same, so EF Core will feel familiar to developers who have used EF6.
