FAQ

Why .NET Core 3.0 (AKA: WHY???)

TL/DR: It makes my life easier.

This library uses the native library loading mechanism of .NET Core 3.0. This is required when you want to avoid using libdl.so, which is either only available in a -dev package, has a different name, depending on your operating system or distribution or other problems.

And no: netstandard2.1 doesn't support this API.
