'''Razor''' is an [[ASP.NET]] programming syntax used to create [[dynamic web page]]s with the [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]] or [[Visual Basic .NET]] programming languages. Razor was in development in June 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 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 [[Microsoft WebMatrix]] tool set.<ref name="RazorsyntaxSupport" />
== Introduction ==
The Razor syntax is a template markup syntax, based on the C# programming language, that enables the programmer to use an HTML construction workflow{{clarify|date=June 2013}}. Instead of using the ASP.NET .ASPX markup syntax with <code><%= %></code> symbols to indicate code blocks, Razor syntax starts code blocks with a @ character and does not require explicit closing of the code-block.
== Advantages of Razor ==
The idea behind Razor is to provide an optimized syntax for HTML generation using a code-focused templating approach, with minimal transition between HTML and code.<ref name=MVC3rve>[http://www.asp.net/mvc/videos/mvc-3/mvc-3-razor-view-engine MVC 3 – Razor View Engine]</ref> The design reduces the number of characters and keystrokes, and enables a more fluid coding workflow by not requiring explicitly denoted server blocks within the HTML code.<ref name="IntroducingRazor" /> Other advantages that have been noted:<ref name=pro1>[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1451319/asp-net-mvc-view-engine-comparison ASP.NET MVC View Engine Comparison]</ref>
