The Microsoft Graph SDKs are designed to simplify building high-quality, efficient and resilient applications accessing Microsoft Graph. Integrate your app with the Microsoft Graph .NET SDK v4, now available in public preview, and leverage new modern development features.
New features and improvements
This new version of the SDK has many improvements, including:
New and improved authentication API based on the Azure Identity client library.
- You can now use a single API to authenticate against Microsoft Graph and Azure .NET clients. Azure Identity adds support for a variety of credential classes capable of acquiring a token to authenticate service requests.
New support for JSON serialization and deserialization.
- Use System.Text.Json library that is now a part of the .NET platform instead of Newtonsoft.Json for JSON serialization and deserialization.
Easy access to response information.
- Access response headers, status code and even deserialize the response in your own custom way through the new GraphResponse<> object. The use of fluent APIs from the service libraries essentially remains the same. The default response handler no longer adds HTTP status code and headers into the AdditionalData property.
Better experience upgrading dependencies.
- Enjoy a better experience with the following upgrades:
- .NET Standard is now netstandard2.0.
- .NET Framework is now net462.
- The core library is now Microsoft.Graph.Core 2.0.0.
