- Server-side and WebAssembly (client-side) hosting models
- Built-in dependency injection support
- Support for lifecycle methods like OnInitialized and OnAfterRender
- Integration with Razor syntax for seamless UI development
Pros
- Enables development entirely in C#, reducing the need for JavaScript
- Component-based architecture promotes code reuse and maintainability
- Strong tooling support within Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code
- Supports both server-side and client-side hosting models for flexibility
- Well-integrated with the .NET ecosystem
