Difference between CloudBlobClient and BlobClient [closed]

Question

When developing .NET Core for azure in C# in what circumstances should one use CloudBlobClient (nuget: Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob) vs BlobClient (nuget: Azure.Storage.Blobs).

Things changed over the years and from library to library. I would say that the main difference is related to new features / and some details of the implementation – Swearword

Would you know more specifically the different features are? Also does that mean the 'cloud' classes are the more outdated versions? – Jeroldjeroma

Hi Mark, it's hard to say because you didn't specify which Nuget Package you're using. But the latest and the one you should be using is "Azure.Storage.Blobs" 12.x – Swearword

about comparing the features, maybe a better place to ask would be github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net – Swearword

Ok thank you. Would you happen to know if the CloudTable classes are the most up to date ones since I was unable to find any class that was simply Table client like the Blobs and Queues have? – Jeroldjeroma

it's because they are now under cosmos db.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.CosmosDB.Table If you want to use the storage one, I'm afraid there's no "new" nuget for it. You'll need to try one check if works – Swearword

@Mark, please include more information, like nuget package version. – Pennant

Ahhh I see thank you. – Jeroldjeroma

seems that CloudBlobClient is deprecated; link to it gets forwarded to .Net Legacy learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/… – Declivous

this seems to be the most up to date reference: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/… – Declivous
