Assembly vs. AssemblyScript vs. XAML vs. jscoverage Comparison Chart

Assembly language is a low-level computer programming language that is used to directly control the hardware of a computer system. It consists of symbols and words that represent specific instructions to the processor. Assembly language is often used to optimize programs written in higher-level languages, as it can provide a more efficient way to access memory and other resources.

XAML is a declarative markup language. As applied to the .NET Core programming model, XAML simplifies creating a UI for a .NET Core app. You can create visible UI elements in the declarative XAML markup, and then separate the UI definition from the run-time logic by using code-behind files that are joined to the markup through partial class definitions. XAML directly represents the instantiation of objects in a specific set of backing types defined in assemblies. This is unlike most other markup languages, which are typically an interpreted language without such a direct tie to a backing type system. XAML enables a workflow where separate parties can work on the UI and the logic of an app, using potentially different tools. When represented as text, XAML files are XML files that generally have the .xaml extension. The files can be encoded by any XML encoding, but encoding as UTF-8 is typical.
