Span

Read Original

This technical article introduces the Span<T> type in C#, a .NET feature for working with any memory type (stack, unmanaged, managed) safely and efficiently. It covers the problem it solves, API usage, performance benefits like slicing without heap allocations, and key limitations such as its stack-only nature. It's a deep dive for developers optimizing memory-intensive code.
