Understanding XAML Standard 1.0
In 2006, Microsoft released Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), which was the first technology to use XAML. WPF is still used today to create Windows desktop applications, for example, Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 is a WPF application.
XAML can be used to create these:

- WPF applications for the Windows desktop, including Windows 7 and later
In a similar fashion to .NET, XAML has fragmented, with slight variations in capabilities between XAML for different platforms. So just as .NET Standard 2.0 is an initiative to bring various platforms of .NET together, XAML Standard 1.0 is an initiative to do the same for XAML.
