.NET MAUI
In this article I’ll tell about .NET MAUI the new generation of Xamarin.
What’s .NET MAUI?
.NET MAUI (.NET Multi-platform App UI) is a framework for building modern, multi-platform, natively compiled iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows apps using C# and XAML in a single codebase.
With .NET MAUI, you can build native applications from a single codebase for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and Tizen which is backed by Samsung.
If you’ve used Xamarin.Forms, MAUI will be very familiar to you. Instead of different projects for desktop, mobile, and each OS, all your code is in a single project. Where Xamarin Forms was mobile only, MAUI adds support for desktop environments. There’s even the option of hosting Blazor in MAUI, with embedded web view controls to run Razor components natively on your target device. The decoupled UI and single project enables you to stay focused on one application instead of juggling the unique needs of multiple platforms. It’s the new baby of Microsoft and I know there will be more libraries and the broader ecosystem come alongside .NET MAUI in the following months.
Rich Components
UI component ecosystem is already rich.
