Introduction

If a web developer wants to embed server based code into a web page then the Razor is used. It is not a programming language , it is a server side markup language.

Razor provide a easy way to create dynamic web content very quickly. At the time when the web page is called , server executes server based code within the web page before it return back the page to the Web Browser. The complex tasks like fetching the data from database can be perform by code running on the server.

Razor is completely based on the ASP.Net and its main focus is on creating web applications.
