Learn Blazor with online courses and programs
What is Blazor?
Blazor is an open-source web framework developed by Microsoft. It enables developers to write client-side code in C# and leverage the .NET framework, which can provide a rich experience for end users.Footnote 1
The term Blazor is a combination of a browser and Razor. Razor is used in C# web development and the Razor syntax can also support Visual Basic language to create dynamic content for websites, such as forms and interactive menus.Footnote 2
One of the things that makes Blazor effective is that it can run on the browser itself via WebAssembly rather than through a plugin. But what is Blazor WebAssembly? It is a way of creating interactive web applications using the .NET and C# programming languages. WebAssembly uses web standards to allow .NET code to run directly in the browser without needing a server. All major browsers in the market today include WebAssembly as standard, so client-side Blazor pages will work on iOS, Android, Linux, and Windows-based browsers.Footnote 3
If you’re considering whether to use Blazor or Angular, it’s worth understanding that both are web development frameworks, but that they have key differences: Angular is TypeScript-based tool that is suited for building client-rendered web applications.Footnote 4
