Summary
In this chapter, you explored some third-party libraries that are popular with .NET developers to perform functions, including:
- Manipulating images using a Microsoft-recommended third-party library named ImageSharp.
- Making text, numbers, dates, and times friendlier with Humanizer.
- Logging structured data with Serilog.
- Mapping between objects, for example, entity models to view models.
- Making fluent assertions in unit testing.
- Validating data in a local culture language-readable way.
- Generating a PDF file.
In the next chapter, we will learn how to handle internationalization with dates and times and localization, including a new type in .NET 8 for making it easier to unit test components with a dependency on the current time.
