NCronJob
A simple, native-feeling job scheduler for .NET built on top of IHostedService, filling the gap between BackgroundService and complex schedulers.
What is NCronJob?
NCronJob is a job scheduling library for .NET that sits on top of IHostedService, providing a simple way to schedule and run background tasks. It solves the problem of needing more than basic BackgroundService capabilities but less complexity than full-featured schedulers like Hangfire, offering cron-based and instant job execution without external dependencies.
.NET developers building applications that require scheduled background tasks, such as data processing, report generation, or periodic cleanup jobs, who want a lightweight, integrated solution.
Developers choose NCronJob for its native .NET integration, minimal setup (no database required), and straightforward API that balances functionality with simplicity, making it ideal for scenarios where persistence and job history are not required.
