A view is used to display data using the model class object. The Views folder contains all the view files in the ASP.NET MVC application.

Razor View Engine

Microsoft introduced the razor view engine to compile a view with a mix of HTML tags and server-side code. The special syntax for razor view maximizes the speed of writing code by minimizing the number of characters and keystrokes required when writing a view. The razor view uses @ character to include the server-side code instead of the traditional <% %> of ASP. You can use C# or Visual Basic syntax to write server-side code inside the razor view.

ASPX View Engine

ASPX or the Web Forms engine is the default view engine that is included in the MVC Framework since the beginning. Writing a code with this engine is similar to writing a code in ASP.NET Web Forms.
