How to find out which .NET framework nuget package targets?

Cannot comment on the previous answer, but the targetFramework attribute in packages.config is the .NET version of the project at the time that package was installed.

For example, I have two projects that use Newtonsoft.Json 9.0.1, and these are the lines in their respective packages.config files:

  <package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="9.0.1" targetFramework="net452" />

and

  <package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="9.0.1" targetFramework="net462" />
