What is Application Framework



The framework defines the idea of what Application Framework is. Application Frameworks make writing applications as easy as ABC. The application framework is a software library that provides a fundamental frame to help the development of an application for a certain environment. 

Hence, simply framework is a frame and a work. If you think about a photo frame you put a photo into the frame, it has to be fit to the frame. Just like that, you will do all your work around the frame. Whenever you write some codes in a framework you have a specific structure predetermined. This means the Application Framework lets you build applications from scratch with writing less code. And it prevents you from repeating yourself.

Advantages of using an Application Framework

'DON'T REPEAT YOURSELF!' It is one of the key tactics of being a good developer. Most times when developing a new web application, we need exactly the same requirements. 

Starting a new enterprise web application is difficult. As all applications need some common functions, we repeat ourselves. Many companies are developing their own Application Frameworks or Libraries for such common functions to do not re-develop the same things. Others copy some parts of existing applications and prepare a start for their new application. The first approach is pretty good if the company is big enough and has time to develop such a framework. So, in the long view, writing or using a framework is the best decision. 

Examples for Application Framework

There are top frameworks that you need to try like Laravel, Angular, Node.js, React, Vue.js etc. Angular, Node.js, React, Vue.js are JavaScript frameworks that cover object oriented programming concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction and encapsulation.

  • Angular
Angular is a JavaScript framework built around the concept of components, and more exactly, with the Web Components standard in mind.  


  • Laravel
Laravel is a PHP framework. In Layman’s terms, instead of programming everything from the first line to the last line, Laravel offers something like a “skeleton” of a web application.






  • Node JS
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform that runs the V8 JavaScript engine, the main key of Google Chrome. This allows Node.js to be very efficient.



  • React
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. React was initially developed by Facebook and now maintained by the community. React is declarative and component oriented.

If someone wants to develop a web application, an application framework isn’t a must. But, it can significantly speed up and simplify the work, as well as helps to create a responsive and more engaging web application. As many application frameworks are now based on the MVC architecture, anyone can enjoy the perks of this architecture pattern and have double the advantage. Carefully assess the skills, revise the goals of the project, and choose the server-side and/or client-side frameworks wisely.

What REST Services Are

REST represents Representational State Transfer. REST is a web standards-based architecture and uses HTTP Protocol. It spins around assets where each part is a component and an asset is gotten to by a common interface utilizing HTTP standard strategies. REST was firstly presented by Roy Fielding in 2000.  In REST architecture, a REST Server just gives access to assets and REST client gets to and modifies the assets. Here every asset is recognized by URIs/worldwide IDs. REST utilizes different representations to represent an asset like text, JSON, XML. JSON is the most famous one. The following four HTTP methods are commonly utilized in REST-based architecture. GET         - Provide read-only access to a resource. POST       - Use to create a new resource DELETE  - Use to remove a resource. PUT          - Use to update an existing resource or create a new resource. A web service is an assortment of open protocols and standards utilized for trading data between
