System.Reflection.Metadata by: Microsoft

This package provides a low-level .NET (ECMA-335) metadata reader and writer. It's geared for performance and is the ideal choice for building higher-level libraries that intend to provide their own object model, such as compilers. The metadata format is defined by the ECMA-335 - Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) specification. The System.Reflection.Metadata library is built-in as part of the shared framework in .NET Runtime. The package can be installed when you need to use it in other target frameworks.

System.Reflection.MetadataLoadContext by: Microsoft

Provides read-only reflection on assemblies in an isolated context with support for assemblies that target different processor architectures and runtimes. Using MetadataLoadContext enables you to inspect assemblies without loading them into the main execution context. Assemblies in MetadataLoadContext are treated only as metadata, that is, you can read information about their members, but cannot execute any code contained in them.
