Mono

Mono is a cross-platform, open-source implementation of Microsoft’s .NET Framework. It allows developers to build and run .NET applications on different operating systems, including Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Initially developed by Xamarin and now maintained by the .NET Foundation, Mono is designed to support the development and execution of applications written in C# and other .NET languages. It includes a C# compiler, a Common Language Runtime (CLR), and core libraries needed to run .NET applications. In IT organizations, Mono enables code reuse across platforms, supports legacy systems, and offers an alternative for deploying .NET apps outside the Windows ecosystem.
