## Latest framework versions

The following table defines the set of frameworks that you can use, how they're referenced, and which version of the [.NET Standard Library](library.md) they implement. These framework versions are the latest stable versions. Pre-release versions aren't shown.

## Supported frameworks

A framework is typically referenced by a short target framework moniker or *TFM*. In .NET Standard, this is also generalized to *TxM* to allow a single reference to multiple frameworks. The NuGet clients support the following frameworks. Equivalents are shown within brackets (`[]`).
