Silverlight is a deprecated application framework developed by Microsoft for building rich internet applications, similar to Adobe Flash. It enables the creation of interactive user experiences for web and mobile applications using XAML and .NET languages.
About Silverlight
Silverlight was developed by Microsoft and introduced in 2007. It was created to enable developers to build rich internet applications with enhanced multimedia, graphics, and interactivity using XAML and .NET languages. Over time, it struggled to compete with emerging technologies like HTML5 and was officially discontinued in 2021.
Silverlight's strengths included seamless integration with .NET technologies, rich multimedia capabilities, and cross-browser compatibility. Its weaknesses were limited mobile support, dependency on browser plugins, and declining industry adoption. Competitors included Adobe Flash, HTML5, and JavaFX.
