Framework is a term used in various contexts, each with different meanings, but generally refers to a basic structure underlying a system, concept, or text. In the context of software development, a framework is a defined support structure in which another software project can be organized and developed.
Definition[edit]
A framework is a basic conceptual structure used to solve or address complex issues, usually a set of tools, materials or components. This can be a physical structure, or a conceptual one. In the context of software development, a framework is a defined support structure in which another software project can be organized and developed.
Types of Frameworks[edit]
There are various types of frameworks, each with its own purpose and use. Some of the most common types include:
- Software Frameworks: These are reusable "semi-finished" software for a specific domain that can be specialized to produce custom applications. Examples include .NET Framework, Spring Framework, and Ruby on Rails.
- Conceptual Frameworks: These are used in research to guide the collection and interpretation of data. Examples include Theoretical Framework and Conceptual Model.
- Policy Frameworks: These are a type of document that sets out a set of procedures or goals, which might be used in negotiation or decision-making to guide a more detailed set of rules or standards.
Uses of Frameworks[edit]

- In Software Development, frameworks are used to standardize the development process, making it easier and more efficient.
- In Research, conceptual frameworks are used to guide the collection and interpretation of data.
