Nullable VS SmartAnnotations

Compare Nullable vs SmartAnnotations and see what are their differences.

Nullable

A source code only package which allows you to use .NET's nullable attributes in older target frameworks like .NET Standard 2.0 or the "old" .NET Framework. (by manuelroemer)

SmartAnnotations

A library for .NET that uses source generators to automatically generate data annotations for your models. (by fiseni)

    https://github.com/manuelroemer/Nullable (backport nullable attributes so you can use things like [NotNullWhen]). Alternatively, https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/ReferenceAssemblyAnnotator/ is even niftier, as it gives you .NET 5's annotations as well. So the compiler tells you whether a Dictionary.TryGetValue result is nullable or not based on annotations that didn't exist in .NET Standard 2.0.

    If you need the attributes, reference https://github.com/manuelroemer/Nullable or https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/ReferenceAssemblyAnnotator. The latter is bigger, but retroactively adds nullability annotations to runtime references (such as Dictionary.TryGetValue).
