.NET MAUI
.NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI) is a framework developed by Microsoft for creating cross-platform applications. It allows developers to build applications that run on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows using a single codebase.
.NET MAUI is the evolution of Xamarin.Forms, providing a unified API and tooling experience for building rich, native applications.
When to use .NET MAUI?
Cross-Platform Development
.NET MAUI enables developers to create applications that run on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows with a single codebase, reducing development effort and ensuring consistency across different platforms.
Native Performance
Applications built with .NET MAUI have access to native device APIs and performance optimizations, ensuring that they can leverage the full capabilities and speed of the underlying platform.
Unified XAML and C#
Developers can use XAML for designing user interfaces and C# for business logic, providing a cohesive and familiar development experience while enabling code reuse across different platforms.
Hot Reload
Hot Reload
NET MAUI supports hot reload, allowing developers to see changes in their application in real-time without the need to restart or lose the application state, which speeds up the development process.
Comprehensive Tooling
Integrated with Visual Studio, .NET MAUI offers a comprehensive suite of development tools, including debugging, testing, and deployment features, streamlining the entire development lifecycle.
Extensive Framework
.NET MAUI's architecture is highly extensible, allowing developers to integrate third-party libraries and create custom controls, thereby enhancing functionality and tailoring the application to specific needs.
