Frequently asked questions

How many open source projects are written in C#?

This registry tracks 118 C# projects, with 598,905 GitHub stars between them and a median of 2,308 stars. The most-adopted is Jellyfin at 58,942 stars.

Which C# projects are most actively maintained?

96 of the 118 projects were pushed in the last 90 days. Each entry above shows its exact last-push date, so you can filter out dormant projects before committing to one.

What licence are C# projects usually under?

115 of the 118 carry an explicit open-source licence across 9 distinct licences, and the licence is shown on every card. Permissive licences (MIT, Apache-2.0) are the safest default for commercial use; check the copyleft ones individually.

Should I use C# or Java for my project?

Both are viable. C# is the better default if your team already knows it or the libraries you need are written in it; Java may suit you better if you need the ecosystem, tooling or performance profile it is known for. The registry lists 118 C# projects to work from.
