ASP.NET

 

ASP.NET is a popular open-source web framework developed by Microsoft for building modern web applications and APIs. It is part of the .NET ecosystem and allows developers to create dynamic, robust, and high-performance web solutions. There are a few key versions and components of ASP.NET:

1. ASP.NET Core: A cross-platform, high-performance framework designed for building web applications and APIs. It can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux and is known for being lightweight and modular. It is the successor to the traditional ASP.NET framework, offering better performance, scalability, and flexibility.

2. ASP.NET MVC: This is a part of the traditional ASP.NET framework for building web applications using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. It's especially suited for applications where the developer wants more control over the HTML output, requests, and responses.

3. Web API: ASP.NET Web API is a framework for building HTTP-based services, including RESTful APIs. It can be used independently or in combination with MVC for applications that need a backend API.

4. Razor Pages: Introduced with ASP.NET Core, Razor Pages is a page-based coding model designed to make web development simpler and more productive. It allows you to create dynamic, data-driven web pages more easily than with MVC.

5. Blazor: A framework within ASP.NET that allows developers to build interactive web UIs using C# instead of JavaScript. It can run client-side in the browser using WebAssembly or on the server.
