A Brief Exposition of Blazor and its ground-breaking Features

Blazor is a free open-source and cross-platform experimental framework developed by ASP.Net Microsoft that brings C# in any browser without any plug-in. But it is no longer listed as an experimental framework, it is now counted in the .Net core 3. It is considered the finest contemporary development in the .Net world. Blazor allows developers to write optimum UI experiences with the help of C# rather than JavaScript. The blazor framework can make the C# more powerful by turning it into a full-stack development tool. It is employed to develop web UI for clients’ applications using Web assembly support.

Classification of Blazor

Despite being embarked initially as an experimental technology, Blazor is classified into two hosting options: Client-side blazor and server-side blazor. This classification is based on their area of functionality i.e. client-side blazor runs in the browser whereas the server-side blazor runs on the server side though it runs the same kind of code.

  Client-side

  Server-side

Let us acknowledge them in brief-


Client Side Blazor:

This scenario is referred as Blazor WebAssembly and, in this the Blazor App, its relainces, and .Net runtime are downloaded to the browser and the app is pushed directly on the browser UI thread. Also the event management and UI updates transpire within the same process.


Server Side Blazor:

In the Server side blazor, it is directed on the server from an ASP.Net Core app. The Javascript calls, event management, UI updates are managed over a SignalR connection.

  Features of Blazor

  • Blazor is supported by Windows, macOS, and Linux, IE, Edge, Opera mini, Safari, Firefox & many more.

  • It enables the developer to write web UI emplying C# and Razor Syntax rather than Javascript enabling both backend and frontend development with the same language.

  • The name "Blazor" is an amalgamation of Browser and Razor.

  • It is utilised to develop engaging web UI in client side applications using Web Assembly support. WebAssembly is known as a low-level assembly- like language possessing a minimal binary format that can run in contemporary web browsers. WebAssembly originated as a web standard and is encouraged by all the major browsers without plugins.

  • With Blazor, you can work with Visual Studio which is an advanced IDE and Visual studio code which is a lightweight IDE.

  • Unless the Blazor is merged with ASP.Net5, the sources of Blazor are stored under an individual repository.

  • Using Web Assembly, the C # code you write for client-side will function in all current browsers with .NET Runtime setting rather than installing a plugin or performing a transpile process.

  Pros & Cons

Let us take you through the pros & cons of Client Side Blazor(WebAssembly) and Server side Blazor respectively.

Pros of Client side Blazor (WebAssembly)

  • It offers offline support
  • Subordinate latency Network
  • Client resources and capabilities are utilised
  • Swifter than JavaScript
  • You can develop Progressive Web Apps employing C#
  • It can be hosted anywhere as static files
  • The same validation code can be utilised on the client and on the server
  • You don't require Javascript knowledge for client-side interactions.

Cons of Client side Blazor (WebAssembly)

  • Page download scope is huge.
  • Bigger the application heftier the payload of the application gets
  • Constrained to the abilites of the browser
  • Cannot run on web browsers not supporting web assembly
  • The initial request generally takes longer
  • Debugging is not so pleasing at the client-side.
  • Considered insecure as DLLs will be downloaded at the browser.

Pros of Server Side Blazor

  • Loading speed of the application is much snappy
  • It can leverage the server abilities to a greater extent
  • The clients are required to employ the application in an web browser
  • It is compatible with any client
  • It is completely consistent with any .NET libraries and .NET tooling
  • Utilises exactly the similar syntax as the client-side Blazor
  • It is considered secure as the app code is not transferred to the client
  • Works with thin clients

Cons of Server Side Blazor

  • Adaptivity could be a confront
  • An active connection to the server is mandatory
  • Because of a round trip to the server, there is Higher latency
  • It needs an ASP.NET Core server

Browsers Supporting Blazor

IE, Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IOS Safari, Opera Mini, Blackberry Browser, UC Browser, Samsung Internet.
