What are the Web Application Framework ?

What are the benefit of Web Application Framework ?

In this blog I’ll tell you about web Application framework most of student

ask me web framework so I’ve decided to write blog in detailed so guys

Let’s get know about Web Application Framework

Frameworks are a kind of programming abstraction that holds together the user-written code. A software framework is a universal, reusable software environment that provides particular functionality as part of a larger software platform. This facilitates the development of software applications, products and solutions. Software frameworks may include support programs, compilers, code libraries, tool sets, and application programming interfaces (APIs) that bring together all the different components to enable development of a project or system. Frameworks are fairly similar to libraries and they’ve become a bit of a buzzword recently, but they do have some distinguishing features that separate them from normal libraries.

• Inversion of control: in a framework, the overall program’s flow of control is dictated by the framework and not the caller. This is the opposite of how libraries work, where the flow of control is dictated by the caller.
• Extensibility: a user can extend the framework — usually by selective overriding; or programmers can add specialized user code to provide specific functionality.
• Non-modifiable framework code: the framework code is not supposed to be modified, but it can accept user-implemented extensions. In other words, users can extend the framework, but they should not modify its code.

The framework itself provides a certain opinionated flow of control. What you have to do is provide implementations of the application business logic and the framework will call those, relieving you of thinking about database connections, transactions, data transportation protocols, etc. For all these the framework provides configuration endpoints but you will not have to explicitly instantiate the classes, pass the configuration, allocate/deallocate resources, etc.

Today web app development can be done in many ways. And there’s not a question anymore about web application’ advantages for both user and business. I write created for you the full guide on web app development with all important nuances every developer and business owner should know. And now we suggest you take a look at a short article related to the ways of web application development topic. Particularly, we will talk about development using frameworks:

Software frameworks advantages for web app development

For those of you who not familiar with the topic, a software framework is a platform for developing software applications which define the structure of a programming system. Why Ruby on Rails is ideal for Web App development. And now we would like to tell you why developers use frameworks.

Apart from well-known life-simplifying features, frameworks bring much more benefits for the developer, business, and end-user.

So here are the main 5 advantages of frameworks:

1. Most of the popular frameworks are open-source (or available to use for free). They often also come with licensing that is not restrictive and allows to build a commercial product
2. In most cases, the framework has good documentation and support. It is worth mentioning that “good support” is a subjective issue at times. Typically, paid support will almost always be faster and more concise, but this also depends on the level of activity within the framework — as a framework like Ruby on Rails demonstrates with a massive community, which is renowned for its welcoming nature and good support too
3. Frameworks eliminate the need to write a lot of repetitive code that you will find being used in many different applications. The advantage of efficiency will never be underestimated. You can expect to build a project in much less time than would be achieved writing code without a framework
4. As far as a framework usually developed and tested by many different developers it can gain a strong level of security. It is extremely likely that many security risks are addressed and tested when the framework is being built
5. Integration: for building almost any type of application (including a website) where you want to store some data, you will typically use a database. There also exist many other tools that link to web development. Many frameworks will thus make it easier to link to these tools and also communicate with them.

Advantages of using software frameworks

• You are using code that has been pre-built and pre-tested. This increases the reliability of your application and reduces the programming and testing effort.
• Framework can be upgraded by its creators, which could potentially provide new functionality, improved performance or increased stability without additional programming from your side as framework user.
• Framework can help establish better programming practices and appropriate use of design patterns.
• Well written framework provides you with the means to easily extend or override its behavior.
• You can extend, but not modify the code of framework, hence you can’t introduce new bugs to it and you don’t need to spend time for testing framework.
• Framework has predefined API, so if two developers know same framework, they can communicate more easily using same terms. You can introduce new developer to your team and if he knows framework you use in your application, he will integrate with your team and development process faster. If you decide to write everything from scratch, it will take more time for new team member to get into the intricacies of your custom code.

The Short answer is

• Usage of framework simplifies and speeds up development process significantly.
• There are so many advantages of software frameworks, that you probably shouldn’t start development of application without it.

Here I am listing Top 10 Best Web Framework

1. Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails is an extremely productive web application framework written by David Heinemeier Hansson. One can develop an application at least ten times faster with Rails than a typical Java framework. Moreover, Rails includes everything needed to create a database-driven web application, using the Model-View-Controller pattern.

2. Django
Django is another framework that helps in building quality web applications. It was invented to meet fast-moving newsroom deadlines while satisfying the tough requirements of experienced Web developers. Django developers say the applications are it’s ridiculously fast, secure, scalable, and versatile.
