Common Language Specification (CLS)

The Common Language Specification (CLS) is a set of rules and standards designed to ensure that different programming languages can understand and work with each other seamlessly within the .NET framework. Think of it as a common language common to various programming tools, allowing them to exchange data, understand method calls, and cooperate efficiently. By adhering to CLS, developers ensure their code can be used across multiple languages, promoting interoperability and reducing integration issues in software development.
