Reflection changes asp.net core 2

Hello,

Could anyone explain to me what happened to the Type and TypeInfo classes? I mean, in asp.net core 1.1 I had to use TypeInfo to access information like "IsPrimitive" etc. Now the Type class has it.

Did they change the way Type and TypeInfo works? Is it still faster to use Type then TypeInfo or did they change it back to the .Net Framework ways?

Thanks,

Lucas
