ardalis/Specification

This system is a .NET library that implements the Specification and Repository patterns to simplify and standardize data access logic. It provides a fluent API for constructing complex queries, including filtering, sorting, pagination, and projections, which are then translated into efficient Entity Framework Core and EF6 database operations. The architecture features a modular evaluator system that applies these specifications to queries, supporting both in-memory and database-backed repositories with full test coverage.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 3 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit d2fcf351a9 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
