What is Blazor?

Blazor is an open-source framework developed by Microsoft for building full-stack single-page applications (SPAs) using C# and HTML. It allows developers to use the same programming model on both the client and server sides, leveraging the power and rich tooling of the .NET platform to quickly build secure, fully featured web applications. 

 

How Blazor Works

Blazor uses a component-based model to build user interfaces. Developers can create reusable components that run across multiple platforms, including the web, mobile devices, and desktops.
