The End of Life API is an Azure Functions project written to be a single source of truth that can be used programmatically to determine whether or not a particular Target Framework Moniker (TFM) is end of life (EOL). It provides a very simple, yet fully feature-encompassing set of endpoints. Both the legacy csproj TFM style (eg. v4.5) and the newer SDK-style csproj TFM style (eg. net45) are supported.
This endpoint checks if the specific TFM is EOL or not. The TFM argument can be a single TFM or a semicolon-delimited
list. If none of the specified TFM's are EOL, this will return 204-No Content. If any of the specified TFM's are EOL,
then any EOL TFM of those specified will be returned in a JSON object with an array named EndOfLifeTargetFrameworks.
Example: When passing net45;net6.0 for the TFM.
{
"EndOfLifeTargetFrameworks": {
"net45": "2016-01-12T00:00:00"
}
}This endpoint will return a JSON object with an array named EndOfLifeTargetFrameworks containing all TFM's that are
currently EOL, or will be EOL within the (optional) query-string parameter timeframe. The results are sorted
alphabetically to provide easier manual parsing.
