What is Razor Syntax?

Razor is a markup syntax for embedding .NET-based code into web pages. The Razor syntax consists of Razor markup, C#, and HTML. Files containing Razor generally have a .cshtml file extension. The syntax is similar to the templating engines of various JavaScript single-page application(SPA) frameworks such as Angular, React and VueJS, etc.

Razor syntax is used in all Views of each of my MVC applications. Identified by the prefixed "@" symbol, you can see an example of its use in this section of the layout of my blog project. Code commented with Razor syntax is not rendered to the client.
