When it comes to web application development, there are multiple technologies available to choose from. There are open-source technologies like Java & PHP, and then, there is closed-source technology ASP.NET MVC.
While millions of web developers use ASP.NET MVC to build web applications, but the latest ASP.NET Core framework offers far more benefits than the ASP.NET MVC for web application development.
ASP.NET Core is an open-source, cross-platform framework developed by both the Microsoft and its community. Basically, it is a complete reform of ASP.NET that combines MVC structure and Web API into a single framework.
Why Use ASP.NET Core for Web Application Development?
ASP.NET Core is an emerging, robust, and feature-rich framework that provides features to develop super-fast APIs for web apps.
Let’s take a look at the elements that make ASP.NET Core a right choice for Enterprise app development.
1 — The MVC Architecture
Back in the days of the classic ASP.NET, developers had to worry about IsPostBack & ViewState. But with MVC, web application development has become more natural and the workflow also more efficient. In addition, the latest ASP.NET Core framework further helps in developing web APIs & web applications testable in better way, by achieving a clear separation of concerns.
In simple terms, ASP.NET Core makes it easier for developers to code, compile, and test something in either model, view, or the controller.
2 — Razor Pages Coding Model
Razor Pages is a new element of ASP.NET Core that makes programming page-focused scenarios more productive. In technical terms, Razor Pages is a page-based coding model that makes building web UI easier.
If you’ve ever worked on ASP.NET MVC framework before, then you already know that the controller classes are filled with a large amount of actions. And not only that, but they also grow as the new things are added.
With Razor Pages, each web page becomes self-contained with its View component, and the code is also organized well together.
3 — Providing Support for Popular JavaScript Frameworks
Unlike ASP.NET MVC, the new .NET Core framework provides build-in templates for two most popular JavaScript frameworks — Angular & React (plus Aurelia).
The JavaScriptServices in the new ASP.NET Core provides an infrastructure that developers need to develop client-side apps using the above mentioned JavaScript frameworks.
The JavaScriptServices basically aims to eliminate underlying plumbing to allow developers start coding applications sooner, making it possible to build feature-rich front-end web applications.
4 — Improving Collaboration & Cross-Platform Support
ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform framework, meaning the apps build using this framework can run on Windows, Linux, and Mac Operating systems. In addition, the developers are also free to choose their development OS as well.
In simple terms, your developers can work across Linux, MacOS, or Windows and they can still collaborate on the same project. This is possible with unified experience offered by the Visual Studio IDE.
In short, the ASP.NET Core framework has the capacity to build & run web applications on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
5 — In-Built Dependency Injection Support
ASP.NET Core framework provides an in-built dependency injection, meaning you do not need rely on third-party frameworks like Ninject or AutoFactor anymore.
Dependency Injection is basically a pattern that can help developer distinguish the different pieces of their apps. Before the release of ASP.NET Core, the only way to get Dependency injection in any application was by using the above mentioned frameworks (Ninject, AutoFactor). But in ASP.NET Core, the dependency injection is treated as a first-class citizen. What this means is that developers are no longer limited to web applications, and they can leverage new libraries in more event-driven apps such as AWS Lambda or Azure Functions.
Overall, the dependency injection in the ASP.NET Core framework improves the testability and extensibility of web applications.
Concluding Note
ASP.NET Core is bringing a new era of enterprise web application development. With continuous improvements to its features, an ASP.NET developer’s life has become far easier, and the enterprises’ web presence more profitable, making ASP.NET Core the prime choice among enterprises to build their web apps.
