'''Razor''' is an [[ASP.NET]] programming syntax used to create dynamic web pages with the [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]] or Visual Basic programming languages. Razor was in development in June of 2010<ref name="IntroducingRazor">[http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/07/02/introducing-razor.aspx]|Introducing Razor</ref> and was released for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in January of 2011 .<ref name="RazorsyntaxSupport">[http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdevtools/archive/2011/01/12/how-to-get-razor-syntax-support-in-visual-studio-2010.aspx]|Razor syntax Support</ref>. Razor is a simple-syntax view engine and was released as part of [[ASP.NET MVC]] 3 and the [http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/ WebMatrix] tool set.<ref name="RazorsyntaxSupport" />.

== Advantages of Razor==

The idea of Razor was to create an optimized syntax for HTML generation using a code-focused templating approach using a minimization of transition between HTML and code.<ref name=MVC3rve>[http://www.asp.net/mvc/videos/mvc-3-%E2%80%93-razor-view-engine]|MVC 3 – Razor View Engine</ref>. The design reduces the number of characters and keystrokes required and enables a more fluid coding workflow by not having to explicitly denote server blocks within the HTML code.<ref name="IntroducingRazor" />. Other advantages that have been noted:

* Is not a new language (no major changes to learn)

* Supports Intellisense (statement completion support)

* [[Unit_testingUnit testing|Unit Testable]]

==Criticism==

Using the Razor syntax could be awkward for programmers used to prior markup syntax and although it does cause complex views to be more readable there is minimum editing advantage for smaller views. The current ASP.NET MVC 3 does not yet support syntax highlight for Razor views.<ref name=critic1>[http://geekswithblogs.net/mbridge/archive/2011/06/06/asp.net-mvc-3-hosting--understanding-razor-view-engine-asp.net.aspx]|ASP.NET MVC 3 Hosting :: Understanding Razor View Engine ASP.NET MVC 3 C#</ref>.
