Introduction
MVC (Model-View-Controller) and Razor Pages are both frameworks for building web applications. MVC emphasizes separation of concerns, while Razor Pages leverages templating for rapid development.
Key Differences
- MVC: Code is separated into model, view, and controller.
- Razor Pages: Uses templating to generate HTML from data.
When to Use MVC
Ideal for: Complex applications with strict requirements, large codebases, and a need for maintainability. Projects requiring extensive testing and debugging.
Consider it when: You need to build a highly scalable and maintainable application. The framework provides a solid structure for long-term development.
When to Use Razor Pages
Best for: Rapid prototyping, single-page applications, and projects where speed of development is paramount. Smaller, focused projects.
Use it when: You want to leverage templating for dynamic content generation. You value a simple, structured approach.
