The term “framework” is used more often on the Internet and especially in programming. A framework is a basic framework on which to build. Why this makes sense is explained here.

What is a framework?

Program code that is needed again and again is already pre-programmed. It can be used as often as you like.

A framework is a programming framework for developers. It already contains certain programming and functions on which developers can build their own program. If a developer wants to write a program, he doesn’t have to program everything himself, but can “assemble” his program with the help of existing frameworks. As a rule, however, you also need your own program code, since frameworks do not cover all cases. One of the most well-known frameworks is the operating system framework called “.NET Framework” from Microsoft.

As a comparison you can imagine it like this:

  1. A manufacturer produces and sells standardized frames for cars (framework).
  2. A designer gets such a frame so that he doesn’t have to start from scratch and produces the rest of the car’s equipment (program code).
  3. Another designer also gets such a frame to save time and effort, but produces a completely different equipment for the car (different program code).
  4. A third designer…

In the above representation, Microsoft would be the manufacturer and the designers would be the developers who develop different programs based on a framework.

Frameworks also exist in web design for dynamic websites or (web frameworks) or for software testing (test frameworks).

What types of frameworks are there?

  • Operating System Frameworks
  • Application Frameworks
  • Network Concept Frameworks
  • service frameworks

framework in companies

In the company, framework refers to a standardized methodical approach to completing a task. So there are basic rules. These form the framework.

Benefits of a framework

  • Frameworks make programming easier and save development time.
  • Frameworks also have standardized interfaces to interact with other software, hardware or databases.
