Why do some items have Xojo.Core as well as legacy commands?

Just wondering why some items like PostgresPreparedStatement have a similar command Xojo.Core.PostgresPreparedStatement?

Or Dictionary vs Xojo.Core.Dictionary?

Is this just another command to call the same thing, or is the Xojo.Core. version the new improved version that works so much better, faster, stronger?

No. You should just ignore Xojo.*, which is now deprecated. I threw it all out of my app a few years ago. It was never completed.

Surprise answer. I never expected that. Thanks.

It was intended as a replacement for API1 but many methods were never converted to use Text (such as EncodeBase64 which uses String).
