Your Spark Razored my NHaml: A comparison of popular ASP.NET MVC View Engines
By now, if you’ve worked with ASP.NET MVC, you’ve worked with the default WebFormsViewEngine that may feel like a step back 10 years into Classic ASP 3.0. But there are other options available. ASP.NET MVC was designed to use other View Engines, allowing you to to keep the same Model and Controller while using code in your Views that doesn’t bring back scary memories of COM. Spark, Razor, and NHaml are all popular View Engines that have each made a statement in ASP.NET MVC circles. Let’s see what they are all about, how they compare, and how they stack up to the default engine.
