Framework
Frameworks are software built to run web applications, web services, websites, and application programming interfaces(APIs). They reduce the time developers spend coding and building the website. The frameworks are known for the following benefits,
- Boosts the speed of developing web applications, as it constitutes pre-built components and functions.
- The templates and the programming environment provide structure to the web application.
- Databases and services are acquired much easier than they actually used to be.
- Already available debugging and testing tools improve the quality of the codes.
- Reduces duplication of the codes with common models of codes being made available.
There are two types of web frameworks: front-end and back-end. A front-end web framework is a user-facing part of the website that maintains user interactions and strengthens user experience. On the other hand, a back-end framework is a server-side application that manages databases, thereby affecting the performance of web applications.
