To specify connection strings (to databases). Connection strings are used quite often, so there's a handy extension-method GetConnectionString to simplify retrieval of it's value. |

I don't think it worth to be recognized section, let people define the way they want, because when I want to set a connection string I maybe want to set some other related configurations like timeout and database name ... etc. so I will be putting them together, this section is weird for me unless it has some benefits in devops that I can't see |

See e.g. EF Core Docs for Connection Strings and Connection string prefixes in the ASP.NET Core Docs.
