# NuGet artifact

_[NuGet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NuGet) artifact_ is a `*.nupkg` package file that contains compiled [.NET](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET) code (e.g., DLL), metadata, dependencies, and other resources.

NuGet artifacts are used to distribute libraries, tools, and components you can integrate to projects written in C#, C++, and other .NET languages.
