It's not a base class, and not an interface.
C# 15 Union Types Improve Type Safety and Code Clarity | Poorna Soysa posted on the topic | LinkedIn
๐ก .๐ก๐๐ง ๐ง๐ถ๐ฝ โ ๐พ# 15 ๐๐ฃ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐จ C# 15 introduces something developers have been asking for a long time, Union Types. So what is it? A union allows a variable to hold one of a fixed set of types โ not anything, but only what is defined. ๐ Why this matters Until now, when returning different outcomes, we had to rely on: ๐ธobject (not safe โ) ๐ธbase classes / interfaces (adds complexity โ) ๐ธor custom Result<T> patterns Now, this becomes clean and explicit. ๐ What changes with Union Types: ๐ธ Strong type safety ๐ธ Clear intent in APIs ๐ธ Compiler forces handling all cases ๐ธ Less guesswork when reading code ๐ This is especially useful for: ๐ธAPI responses ๐ธError handling ๐ธDomain results Starting with .NET 11 Preview 2, C# 15 introduces the ๐ช๐ฃ๐๐ค๐ฃ keyword. ๐ฌ What are your thoughts on union types in C#?
