Migrate to .netstandard to support the future

kenkendk commented 3 years ago

From what I understand, there is no need for this library for future implementations. It was mainly a performance boost for Mono runtimes, which uses a managed version of the algorithms. The .Net core (and .Net 5) uses the platform interop layer that calls the libraries on the system (the same as FasterHashing).

Good to know. I'm trying to update a framework library to netstandard. It seems to compile with the existing version of faster hashing but complains profusely. If I get the library running I'll come back to this and try making a benchmark to double check, though if you are right that would be quite convenient.

I am pretty sure it is just as fast without this library. I made the library after detecting slowness in Mono and learning that .Net core was faster by calling a native library.
