[Feature]: Multi-target the package for .NET 8, .NET 9 and .NET 10 #12
Description
Problem / motivation
AzureExtensions.Functions.OpenApi currently targets only net10.0.
This prevents Azure Functions isolated-worker applications targeting .NET 8 or .NET 9 from referencing the package, even though the library's functionality does not appear to inherently require .NET 10.
Supporting these target frameworks would make the package usable by applications that have not yet moved to .NET 10, particularly existing .NET 8 Azure Functions applications.
Proposed solution
Allow the package to be consumed by applications targeting .NET 8 and .NET 9, while retaining support for .NET 10.
If the current implementation and dependencies are compatible with .NET 8, the simplest option may be to target net8.0, since applications targeting newer compatible .NET versions should also be able to consume the package.
Alternatively, the library could explicitly multi-target:
<TargetFrameworks>net8.0;net9.0;net10.0</TargetFrameworks>if framework-specific builds are required.
CI should verify that the package builds and its tests pass for all frameworks that are explicitly supported.
Alternatives considered
The current alternative is for consuming applications to upgrade to .NET 10 before they can use the package. This is a relatively large requirement for adopting an OpenAPI library and may not be practical for applications that are intentionally remaining on .NET 8.
Another option would be to support only net8.0 rather than multi-targeting. If no framework-specific APIs are required, this may actually be preferable because a net8.0 library can also be consumed by compatible .NET 9 and .NET 10 applications while keeping the package simpler.
Additional context
The package currently declares:
<TargetFramework>net10.0</TargetFramework>The goal of this request is not specifically to require separate .NET 8, .NET 9, and .NET 10 builds, but to make the package usable from Azure Functions isolated-worker applications targeting those framework versions.
If targeting net8.0 alone provides that compatibility without sacrificing functionality, that would satisfy the request as well.
