    I'm wondering if anyone knows what framework(s) Microsoft uses to make its online Office apps (Excel, Word, Outlook, etc.)? Especially when it comes to Excel, Word, and Powerpoint, I feel like for them to have almost perfectly consistent rendering between the web and desktop versions there must be code sharing going on. However, I believe the desktop apps are developed with .NET and/or C++, so unless they're using some kind of revolutionary WASM framework that isn't available to the public, I don't see how that would be possible. (They're obviously not using Blazor since the Office web apps came well before Blazor was even an experimental project). Does anyone have any insights?

          Whichever version, Microsoft are the best people to provide the answer.

              I loaded up Visio online and the page is Doc.aspx so the main part is c#/asp.net. I'm sure they use JavaScript heavily to keep the page moving and responding well.
