    It is more of a rewrite than migrate. if the old app was a spa like and make ajax calls, you can reuse the webapi code. React based UI sites are the most architecturally similar to Blazor apps and probably the easiest to port.

    You should learn Blazor first. Then decide on a migration plan.

    Telerik as always has a lot of controls.

    if your current site uses razor view, you might start by converting to a razor page site. then razor page to Blazor.

    Your question is far to open to answer accurately.

    A main benefits of moving to Blazor WASM is you get to use .NET on client side. Blazor has the ability to invoke JavaScript form .NET. This information is openly published in the official Blazor docs.

    Blazor JavaScript interoperability (JS interop)

    I question the reasoning to migrate a working JavaScript/jQuery based application to Blazor WASM unless you intend to rewrite some if not all the JavaScript/jQuery to .NET.
