Blazor: A Safe and Secure Web Development Framework

Blazor is a new web development framework from Microsoft that allows you to build interactive web UIs using C#. Blazor is still under development, but it has already the potential to revolutionize the way we build web applications.

Blazor is designed with safety and security in mind. The framework includes a number of features that help to protect your applications from attack, including:

Code Access Security (CAS): CAS is a feature of the .NET framework that helps to control what code can be run in your applications. This helps to prevent malicious code from being executed.

Data Protection : Blazor includes a number of features that help to protect your data, including encryption and hashing. This helps to prevent your data from being stolen or tampered with.

Session Management : Blazor includes a built-in session management system that helps to keep your users logged in and their data secure.

XSS Protection : Blazor includes a built-in XSS protection system that helps to prevent cross-site scripting attacks. This helps to protect your users from malicious code being injected into your applications.

In addition to these features, Blazor is also designed to be easy to use and secure. The framework includes a number of features that help to make it easy to develop secure applications, including:

Security Best Practices : Blazor includes a number of security best practices that are built into the framework. These best practices help you to develop secure applications without having to worry about the details.

Security Tools : Blazor includes a number of security tools that help you to find and fix security vulnerabilities in your applications. These tools help you to develop secure applications without having to be an expert in security.

Overall, Blazor is a safe and secure web development framework that can help you to build secure applications. If you are looking for a web development framework that is both powerful and secure, then Blazor is definitely worth considering.

Here are some additional benefits of using Blazor:

Blazor is single-page application (SPA) friendly. This means that Blazor applications can be loaded and interacted with very quickly, even on slow connections.

Blazor is server-side rendered (SSR) by default. This means that Blazor applications can be SEO friendly and can be cached by browsers.

Blazor is cross-platform. Blazor applications can be run on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

If you are looking for a modern, powerful, and versatile web development technology that is also safe and secure, then Blazor is definitely worth considering.

I been using it since .net 5 and is amazing, the only problem I see is that to make it a very productive tool you must have a third party components source like syncfusion or telerik, and these are expensive, you can build your own but will spend most of your time reinventing the wheel...

Not quite true, while third party components are awesome, Blazor allows you to create your own - yes rebuilding data grid is definitely non productive, but not in all situations you need third party ones and you can see increased productivity without them - but if you need third party library not only you can use awesome MusBlazor open source library which pretty much has it covered all so you don't have to reinvent the wheel but microsoft build their own such as for data grid and there’s plethora of others components - though not in the same quantity as it is case for JS wolrd

The opposite is also true. To have many free components from the community it should be large, so framework must be popular.
I Believe in Blazor, it just needs more time.

I will study Blazor in the future because seems very valid to me, but I doubt it will be able to outperform JavaScript frameworks.

I'm using Blazor Server and I'm loving it... Ease of use and how fast it is makes it my favorite backend tech.

Code Access Security is no longer part of .net core and future .net, so it’s not available with Blazor. Blazor also renders everything through JavaScript as DOM is not accessible in WASM. So plain JavaScript will always be faster and as every DOM manipulation from C# will involve serializing each method parameters and invoking some JS.
