Gapotchenko Shields OSS

Gapotchenko Shields OSS is a curated catalog of open-source .NET components that simplify integration with complementary technologies in your projects.

Overview

Many software projects depend on external technologies to enable specific features and integrations. However, working with these technologies — especially when they are intricate or poorly documented — can be challenging and prone to errors. A technology shield addresses this by offering reliable, ready-to-use components that make integrating with a technology easier and more robust.

This is where the term "technology shield" originates: it shields you from hairy implementation details of a particular technology.
