Before C# 11 and .NET 7, there was no way to create an interface that accommodated static Parse function. The introduction of Static Abstract Methods in interfaces feature now makes it possible. The IParsable<TSelf> interface offers two methods, Parse and TryParse, and if you arent ready to upgrade to .NET 7, you can simulate it using reflection. For performance sensitive code, you can also consider using the ISpanParsable interface. By using a Span instead of a String, memory allocations can often be avoided. Jonathan Allen explains it all.
