🎯 Summary

This PR addresses issue #32 by conducting comprehensive research to identify popular IoC containers with similar APIs to Platform.Scopes.

📊 Analysis Results

After analyzing Platform.Scopes' unique API and comparing it with popular IoC containers, Autofac emerges as the most similar container with an 80% similarity score.

Platform.Scopes Key Features

  • Use<T>() - Primary dependency resolution
  • Include<T>() / Exclude<T>() - Explicit dependency management
  • Assembly-level inclusion/exclusion
  • Auto-exploration and auto-inclusion
  • Scope-based architecture (Scope.Global, Use<T>.Single, Use<T>.New)

Top Similar Containers

Container Resolution Method Similarity Score Key Strengths
Autofac Resolve<T>() 80% Assembly scanning, fluent API, constructor injection
Castle Windsor Resolve<T>() 75% Advanced features, component model
Simple Injector GetInstance<T>() 70% High performance, assembly scanning
Microsoft DI GetService<T>() 65% Built-in .NET standard, constructor injection

📋 Detailed Analysis

Most Similar: Autofac

API Mapping:

  • scope.Use<T>()container.Resolve<T>()
  • scope.Include<T>()builder.RegisterType<T>()
  • scope.IncludeAssembly()builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes()
  • scope.TryResolve<T>()container.TryResolve<T>()

Shared Features:
✅ Constructor injection with automatic resolution
✅ Assembly scanning capabilities
✅ Generic type support
✅ Fluent configuration API
✅ Lifetime management

🎯 Recommendation

For users looking to migrate from Platform.Scopes or find similar functionality:

  1. For API Similarity: Choose Autofac - provides the closest API match
  2. For .NET Integration: Use Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection - the standard choice
  3. For Performance: Consider Simple Injector - excellent performance characteristics
  4. For Advanced Features: Evaluate Castle Windsor - comprehensive feature set
