PowerShell Standard is a reference assembly that has been created to assist developers create modules and PowerShell hosts which will run on PowerShell.
The reference assembly contains no actual implementation but rather will allow you to use only APIs that exist across different versions of PowerShell. This means that you still need to run within a PowerShell runtime.

> NOTE: You should not use PowerShell Standard for standalone applications that leverage PowerShell.
For that, you should use the [PowerShell SDK](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK).
PowerShell Standard's main scenario is for running within a PowerShell session.

## PowerShell Standard Libraries

Two PowerShell Standard `.nupkg` versions are available:

- PowerShell Standard.Library Version 3
- This allows you to create PowerShell modules and host which will run on PowerShell Version 3 and later including PowerShellCore
- This allows you to create PowerShell modules and PowerShell hosts which will run on PowerShell Version 3 and later including PowerShellCore

- PowerShell Standard.Library Version 5.1
- This allows you to create PowerShell modules and host which will run on PowerShell Version 5.1 and later including PowerShellCore
- This allows you to create PowerShell modules and PowerShell hosts which will run on PowerShell Version 5.1 and later including PowerShellCore

Both are available on [NuGet.org](https://www.nuget.org/packages/PowerShellStandard.Library)
