Is there a std::variant in C# like in C++? If not what is the closest thing to it?

object and pattern matching?

what do you mean by pattern matching? checking for the object's type?

basically, yes what problem are you trying to solve?

are any popular libraries that mimics the most C++ STL containers?

i don't know of any, i use C# standard containers the names are different but there are lots that work the same as STL containers
