PipeR.AspNetCore

PipeR Intro

PipeR is a fast, modern, and fully open-source pipeline engine for .NET - designed as a drop-in alternative to commercialized middleware and mediator frameworks. Born out of necessity, PipeR fills the growing gap left by libraries that have shifted behind paywalls or restrictive licensing. Instead of locking critical infrastructure behind subscriptions, PipeR gives developers a lightweight, high-performance pipeline model that is free to use in development and production, with no limits.

PipeR focuses on:

• Performance-first design - minimal allocations, low overhead, and lean abstractions.
• Predictable architecture - request/response pipelines, valves (middleware), and handlers that feel familiar yet faster.
• Flexibility without bloat � simple enough for small projects, powerful enough for enterprise workloads.
• Full OSS freedom � MIT licensed, transparent, community-driven.

Whether you use PipeR.Core in your backend services or PipeR.Extensions.AspNetCore for effortless request pipelines in web APIs, the goal is the same: a modern pipeline framework that stays open, fast, and in your control.

PipeR.Extensions.AspNetCore

PipeR.Extensions.AspNetCore builds on top of PipeR.Core to provide ASP.NET Core specific integrations and helpers for using the lightweight PipeR mediator inside web API applications.

What it is

• Middleware, extensions and DI helper methods that make it straightforward to register and use PipeR.Core in ASP.NET Core applications.
• Provides conventional wiring for handlers, scoped dependencies and optional request/response pipeline integrations useful in HTTP APIs.

Key scenarios

• Register the mediator and handler discovery during application startup
• Integrate request/response handling into controller actions or minimal APIs
• Publish domain notifications or application events from web requests

Supported frameworks

• .NET 9 (.NET 9.0)
• .NET 8 (.NET 8.0)

Quick build

• Build: dotnet build (from repo root) or dotnet build ./PipeR.AspNetCore/
• Test: dotnet test (if this project or solution contains tests)
• Pack (create NuGet): dotnet pack ./PipeR.AspNetCore/ -c Release

Getting started

• Add a project reference: dotnet add <YourProject> reference ./PipeR.AspNetCore/PipeR.AspNetCore.csproj
• From Program.cs call the provided extension methods to register services and handlers. Inject the mediator into controllers, services, or minimal API delegates.

Examples and API details

• See the source code for the available extension methods and sample integrations. If you want a short usage snippet or starter example added here, tell me which APIs you prefer and I will add it.
