Is Blazor better than Angular?
It depends on multiple factors, there is no definite answer to this.
Both Blazor and Angular have their pros and cons.
If one is better than other depends on the project type & requirements, team expertise, and existing tech stack being used within the company or projects.
Blazor | Angular | |
|---|---|---|
| Programming Language | We use C# in Blazor | We use TypeScript in Angular |
| Type of Apps | We can build Full-stack Web Apps, Client Side Single Page Apps, Progressive Web Apps, and Cross Platform Mobile and Desktop Apps using Blazor | We can build Client Side Single Page Web Apps, PWAs using Angular. (Cross platfrom mobile apps can be built using Ionic with Angular and Desktop apps in Electron Shell) |
| Ecosystem | Blazor is relatively new but it is growing at a fast pace increasing the ecosystem. Being a part of Asp.Net Core, allows to use a lot of existing C# and .Net libraries to be used directly in Blazor Apps | Angular is a well-established mature framework with a vast ecosystem |
| Developer Experience | Developers can use single language C# for both frontend and backend for Blazor. Learning curve is relatively easier if you are familiar with C# and .Net. Blazor support Hot Reload which makes development experience easier. | Angular is just frontend. So there is a need for separate backend language, (it can be javascript/typescript if you are using node js based backend). It has a steeper learning curve even if you are familiar with javascrip and typescript in general |
| Server Side Rendering & SEO | Blazor has couple of flavors (i.e. approaches to make applications) these are called Render modes.

|
| Deployment and Hostig | As Blazor has multiple Render Modes, the deployment depends on the Render Mode we chose to develop our Blazor App
| Angular - Can be deployed to any static web hosting server, as it generates static files |
