ABP also simplifies (and even automates wherever possible) cross cutting concerns and common non-functional requirements like Exception Handling, Validation, Authorization, Localization, Caching, Dependency Injection, Setting Management, etc.

Tooling

ABP Platform provides tooling to help you in your daily development.

ABP Studio

ABP Studio is a cross-platform desktop application for ABP and .NET developers. It aims to provide a comfortable development environment for you by automating things, providing insights about your solution, making develop, run, browse, monitor, trace and deploy your solutions much easier.

ABP Suite

ABP Suite is a tool to assist your application development. Its main functionality is to automatically generate CRUD-style pages once you define your entities and their relations.

ABP CLI

ABP CLI is a command-line tool to create new solutions and automate the things with your ABP based solutions.

Startup Templates

The Startup templates are pre-built Visual Studio solution templates. You can create your own solution based on these templates to immediately start your development.

Application Modules
