System.Collections.Immutable by: Microsoft

This package provides collections that are thread safe and guaranteed to never change their contents, also known as immutable collections.

Commonly Used Types: System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableArray System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableArray<T> System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableDictionary System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableDictionary<TKey,TValue> System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableHashSet System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableHashSet<T> System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableList System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableList<T> System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableQueue System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableQueue<T> System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableSortedDictionary System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableSortedDictionary<TKey,TValue> System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableSortedSet System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableSortedSet<T> System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableStack System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableStack<T>

System.Collections.Specialized by: Microsoft

Provides older specialized non-generic collections; for example, a linked list dictionary, a bit vector, and collections that contain only strings. Commonly Used Types: System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection System.Collections.Specialized.NameObjectCollectionBase System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection System.Collections.Specialized.IOrderedDictionary System.Collections.Specialized.HybridDictionary System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary System.Collections.Specialized.ListDictionary System.Collections.Specialized.StringDictionary System.Collections.Specialized.BitVector32
