Does SignalR or websockets works with ASP.NET CORE

问题:

I need to implement realtime data sharing push based to my asp.net core 1.0 web application. i.e. If any new data is available I want to push it to all the connected clients/logged in users. I was considering SignalR & websockets for it but SignalR works on .net core 2.0 and websockets works on .net core 1.1 version.

Here is the configuration in my csproj file

<PropertyGroup>
  <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.0</TargetFramework>
  <RuntimeFrameworkVersion>1.0.4</RuntimeFrameworkVersion>
  <PackageTargetFallback>$(PackageTargetFallback);dotnet5.6;portable-net45+win8</PackageTargetFallback>
</PropertyGroup>

Is there any alternate option? or else I'll have to upgrade it to 1.1 or 2.0 to achieve this.

Also I went through some articles here, which uses signalR but package.json shown in this article says netcoreapp1.0 which creates confusion for me. if the author of this article can use SignalR with .net core 1.0 then why does documentation mentions 2.0 am I missing anything here ?

"frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {
      "imports": [
        "dotnet5.6",
        "portable-net45+win8"
      ]
    }
  }

I am new to .net core so anyone guiding me to correct path would be really helpful. Just help me correct my understanding I can take care of the implementation part Thanks
