Blazor hosting

Blazor is a new way of creating websites using C#, MijnHostingPartner of course has the packages that are extremely suitable for hosting your websites made with the new Blazor framework.

What is Blazor?

Blazor is a framework from Microsoft that allows you to write web applications using C# and the standard web languages HTML and CSS. This lends itself to programmers who may be moving away from developing local applications to web applications not having to do so in a different code language. Thus, switching can be effortless without having to adhere to a new syntax.

A major advantage and selling point of Blazor is that code can be reused in both the front end and back end. For each new request there is no need to reload the entire web page. This is not only beneficial for the user who does not have to perform extra actions or wait for the front end. But also for the loading times and the ease of use. Javascript which was previously used for this in other languages and also in the .NET framework is therefore no longer needed for this. Since these responsive actions are now handled with Blazor and C# either on the server or in the client's browser.

Blazor does this in two ways. The first way is with server side hosting by using SignalR to allow the content and requests to communicate back and forth without delay. The entire layout of the website, or HTML and CSS, does not have to be reloaded to perform an action on a website. Like pressing a button on the front end.

The second form is the Web Assembly hosting model whereby the browser takes care of the conversion for the user. And this calculation is then not performed on the server. Explained in more detail below.

The two forms of Blazor, Server side and WebAssembly hosting model

Blazor as part of .NET comes in two flavors, Server side where the changes on a web page are thus forwarded with SignalR. And WebAssembly hosting, where the website and all its requests are handled on the client side in the browser. Both versions are supported by MijnHostingPartner in our .NET packages and can be used as is.

Server side Blazor hosting has the advantage that the calculations are done on our server. Our servers then send everything to the visitor's browser using SignalR. This has the advantage that the computation is done by us and therefore less is asked from the client side. Also, code that might contain sensitive information will be placed with us and not on the client side. The download size is also limited since not everything needs to be sent to the client side. So faster loading times. A disadvantage is that the connection between client and server always needs to have a keep alive for changing information on the website. With Blazor's WebAssembly hosting model, the website is still fully functional even without a connection.
