What are the available dot net core dependencies?

Question

I recently started experimenting with dot net core , and one of my major problems was restoring the dependencies. I went into the the project.json file and added some dependencies , the name was correct but the version was just trial and error until i reached the recent version. I couldn't seem to find any documentation online either , can anyone help me find or show me where i can find a proper list of all the dot net core dependencies and their latest version ?

I have used core to great success. The package manager in VS2015 and 2017 does a great job of resolving both the version you are using and other available versions. If you are working directly with project.json ( not available in VS2017, dependencies have been moved back to the project file ), it will only tell you what packages are available via your user cache. ( found in C:\Users\YourUserNameHere.nuget\packages for both vs2015 and 2017 ) by typing the package name and then letting intellisense do it's thing.

Of course once you do a get of a package it is then available from your cache.
