What is view engine? What does it actually do?

Question

I started learning ASP.NET MVC3.

So, while reading tutorials online and in books, I came across this term \"view engine\" quite frequently. I don\'t know

Answer 1

In MVC, View engine is the one that works between your View and browser to provide valid HTML output to your browser by compiling the code inside your View. There are many view engines available and some of them are following:

1. ASPX

2. Razor

3. Spark

4. NHaml

5. NDJango

6. Hasic

7. Brail

8. Bellevue

9. Sharp Tiles

10. String Template

11. Wing Beats

12. SharpDOM

Currently most developers prefer to use Razor view engine as it provides very convenient way of programming. All of these view engines may not support ASP.NET MVC.
