NAPS2.Sdk
NAPS2.Sdk is a work in progress. Nuget packages will be made available once it is ready for public consumption.
NAPS2.Sdk is a fully-featured scanning library, supporting WIA, TWAIN, SANE, and ESCL scanners on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) is a Microsoft technology for scanners (and cameras). Many scanners provide WIA drivers for Windows.
TWAIN is a cross-platform standard for image acquisition. Many scanners provide TWAIN drivers for Windows and/or Mac.
Apple's ImageCaptureCore provides access to TWAIN and ESCL scanners on Mac devices.
SANE is an open-source API and set of backends for various scanners. Primarily for Linux, supported devices use backends made by open-source contributors or the manufacturer themselves.
ESCL, also known as Apple AirScan, is a standard protocol for scanning over a network. Many modern scanners support ESCL, and as it's a network protocol, specific drivers aren't required. ESCL can also be used over a USB connection in some cases.
Usage
