What are all the supported frameworks for DNX 1.0.0-beta8?

Question

I currently have project.json files that list:

"frameworks": {
        "net40": {
        },
        "net45": {
        },
        "dnx451": {
        },
        "dnxcore5": {
        },
        "netcore5": {

        }
    }

However, is it really?
And what's the difference between dnx451, dnxcore5 and netcore5?

Answer 1

Is it really?

All of these frameworks are theoretically valid. However, not everyone will work.

They are also called “nicknames,” and they are going to be tested using NuGet packages to get the right build. If NuGet packages cannot find a suitable nickname, it simply will not create the correct link.
