UISampleSpark: Seven UI Paradigms, One Backend
A side-by-side comparison of multiple frontend paradigms — from server-rendered MVC to client-side React and Vue — all sharing the same .NET 10 backend API, with Docker containerization and Bootswatch theme switching.
Overview
A side-by-side comparison of multiple frontend paradigms — from server-rendered MVC to client-side React and Vue — all sharing the same .NET 10 backend API, with Docker containerization and Bootswatch theme switching.
Details
UISampleSpark compares multiple frontend approaches — MVC, Razor Pages, jQuery AJAX, React, Vue, htmx, Blazor, and SPA — all running against the same .NET 10 REST API. Originally a simple MVC CRUD demo, it has evolved into a living reference for modern UI architecture decisions with Docker containerization and Bootswatch theming.
