title: .net standard is cross platform like .net Core?
body: <p>I have read that .net Core is cross platform, this means that a class library that uses .net Core can work in windows, linux and mac.</p>
  
  <p>But my doubt is if a .net standard class library can be run also in many platforms (many OS or not) like .net Core library or are different? Or .net standard is for compatibility between platforms like UWP, android... etc?</p>
  
  <p>Because when I read cross platform, sometimes it is means between different OS (windows, linux, mac) and sometimes it means between kind of applications (android, windows, UWP), so it is a bit confused for me.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
