Clean.Net is a fully integrated application that offers both frontend and backend integration, with a stronger emphasis on backend architecture and services. The solution is designed to provide a cohesive and streamlined development experience, bringing together the frontend and backend through modern API-driven interaction. The project continues to evolve with the goal of delivering a fully integrated admin application that combines powerful backend capabilities with a responsive and feature-rich frontend.

The frontend is built with JavaScript, Bootstrap, HTML and CSS and backend built with ASP.NET Core, .NET 8 and C#. Clean.Net follows Clean Architecture, Microservices, and SOLID principles. 

Why is the backend built as an API? Clean.Net is architected as an API-first solution to serve as a unified backend for multiple front-end clients—whether it's iOS, Android, web, or desktop applications. This centralized approach ensures consistency in business logic and data, while simplifying updates and allowing new features to be added with minimal effort.

The API is modular, scalable, and easy to understand—making it ideal for both small projects and large-scale enterprise applications. It also functions as a template that demonstrates best practices and design patterns. By removing the need for repetitive boilerplate code, Clean.Net enables your development team to focus on delivering core business functionality efficiently and effectively.
