No, WebPages is a new framework built on top of the ASP.NET core runtime (just like WebForms and MVC) that's targetting scenarios where you don't need seperation of concern into views and controllers, etc. It ships as part of the WebMatrix tool & framework
offering, but it is works in Visual Studio. Razor is a new language that is supported both in WebPages and in MVC.

This assembly contains the Razor language parsing logic that is particular to how it is used in the WebPages framework and the MVC3 Razor view engine.

So that's neither MVC nor Web Forms - just for WebMatrix, right?

No, it's required by MVC because MVC now includes built-in support for the Razor language.

WebPages framework is a collective name to Razor view engine and parsing engines in general?
