Description

.NET MAUI is a cross-platform framework for creating native mobile and desktop applications with C# and XAML from a single shared code-base.^[3] The application consists of a common code base for all target platforms - a concept that is also present in Xamarin.Forms. The .NET MAUI platform provides a layout engine that can be used to design pages. This engine enables the creation of various page types that include a wide variety of navigation elements, such as pull-down menus or navigation bars. Another feature of .NET MAUI is integrated data binding, which supports more elegant and manageable design patterns. It provides the flexibility to customize event handlers to improve the presentation of user interface elements. Furthermore, .NET MAUI provides cross-platform APIs that provide access to native device functions. These APIs allow applications to access functions such as GPS, accelerometers, and battery and network status. The platform also offers cross-platform graphics functionality, providing a drawing area that supports drawing and painting shapes and images and graphical object transformations.^[4]
