A comparison of Blazor and Angular when it comes to modern web development—a review of the pros and cons. Does Blazor stack up?

Blazor WebAssembly has landed, and brings the possibility of writing modern web applications using C#, but how does it stack up compared to the other, more established options for building “modern” web applications, such as Angular?

Today we’ll take a good look at Blazor and see how it stacks up against Angular.

Specifically, we’ll explore how the following aspects work (for both Blazor and Angular):

• Getting started
• Building the UI
• Passing data between components
• Handling forms
• Routing
• Fetching data from an API
• Pros and cons of each

Before we dig in, it’s worth noting this article focuses on Blazor WASM, which runs in the browser using WebAssembly. That said, many of the points are equally valid if you’re looking at using Blazor Server instead.
