Render HTML elements - ASP.NET Core - HTML Helpers

Question

Hello,

What exactly does the "render" mean? What is being done?

Answer 1

In the context of web development, "render" refers to the process of generating and displaying the final output of a web page or component. It combines data, logic, and presentation elements to produce the desired result that can be rendered and presented to the user.

For example the Html.ActionLink() method is a helper method provided by ASP.NET MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework for generating hyperlinks in a web page. When you use Html.ActionLink(), it generates an HTML <a> tag that represents a hyperlink.
