Common Language Infrastructure or CLI

What is the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI)? What relation does .NET have with the CLI?

E

Expert

Verified

The Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is an open specification developed by Microsoft and standardized by ISO and ECMA that describes the executable code and runtime environment that form the core of the Microsoft .NET Framework and the free and open source implementations Mono and Portable.NET. The specification defines an environment that allows multiple high-level languages to be used on different computer platforms without being rewritten for specific architectures.

CLI is a standard but .NET is an implementation of CLI or another Microsoft proprietary technology.
