What is Blazor?

Blazor is a powerful framework from Microsoft that enables the creation of interactive web applications using C# and .NET technologies, providing an alternative to JavaScript. It seamlessly integrates with existing .NET libraries and tools, offering a rich selection of visual controls to support modernization and extension of your legacy Windows Forms applications.

One of its standout features is the implementation of LiveView and streaming rendering patterns, making it an ideal choice for modernizing legacy applications.

Blazor as a LiveView framework

The main advantages of using Blazor for modernization are:

• Rich interactivity in C#: Handle arbitrary UI events and implement component logic entirely in C#, a language that is very likely to be familiar to your current development team.

• Single Tech Stack: Your application will be implemented using a single tech stack, enabling you to build both the frontend and backend using a single codebase.

• Efficient UI-Delta based Rendering: Blazor optimizes UI updates by carefully tracking changes in the DOM as components render, ensuring that updates are both rapid and efficient.

• Ease of Debugging: The step-by-step debugging and Hot Reload features significantly enhance development efficiency.
