A library that extends LINQ to Objects with over 100 additional methods for advanced sequence manipulation.
MoreLINQ is a popular open-source library for .NET that provides a rich set of additional extension methods to supplement the standard LINQ to Objects API. It solves the problem of missing or verbose operations when working with IEnumerable sequences, offering over 100 well-tested operators for batching, windowing, joining, generating, and transforming data in a LINQ-idiomatic way.
C# developers who regularly work with LINQ queries and need more powerful, expressive, and performant operators for complex data manipulation scenarios beyond what System.Linq provides.
Developers choose MoreLINQ because it delivers a carefully curated, production-ready collection of operators that follow LINQ's design philosophy, are fully documented, and avoid reinventing the wheel—saving time and reducing custom helper code while increasing code readability and maintainability.
Extensions to LINQ to Objects
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Offers over 100 methods like Batch, DistinctBy, and FullJoin, filling significant gaps in standard LINQ and reducing custom helper code.
Maintains deferred execution and composability, adhering to LINQ's functional principles without breaking changes, as stated in the philosophy.
Includes Memoize for caching and ToHashSet for efficient lookups, optimizing common scenarios beyond basic LINQ.
Supports selective method imports via C# 6 static imports to prevent clashes with other libraries, as demonstrated in the usage section.
Admits potential conflicts with .NET updates or other libraries, like the historical Zip issue, requiring manual resolution.
Experimental operators like Await and Merge are labeled as unstable and may be removed without notice, posing risks for production use.
Selective importing with static imports adds boilerplate and complexity compared to simple namespace inclusion, hindering quick adoption.
