PowerShell Core is an open, multi-platform command interpreter developed by Microsoft. The program is so extensive that it will work as an automation system and command line, adapted to work with structured data (JSON, CSV, XML and others), API REST and object models. The interface is accompanied by the scripting language and its own intuitive commands (Cmdlets).

PowerShell gained popularity on Windows, but in August 2016 its source code was opened and the program moved to other platforms as PowerShell Core. Unlike older PowerShell, it does not use the .NET Framework, but the open .NET Core.
