What is Razor Layout Hierarchy and how does nested view rendering work?

Mid .NET Core
Quick Answer A layout wraps content views. Child views use @{Layout = "_Layout";} or inherit from _ViewStart.cshtml. Nested layouts work hierarchically รขโ‚ฌโ€ a child layout sets its own Layout to a parent layout. Each level calls @RenderBody() to include its child's content. The rendering is inside-out: innermost view renders first, then each layout wraps it.

Answer

Views use a layout, layouts can inherit from parent layouts, and sections flow through the rendering chain to generate multi-layer UI structures.
