Web Framework

Definitions

1. A structured library or platform that provides conventions, routing, middleware, templating, and tooling for building web applications — server-side examples include Django, Rails, and Express; client-side examples include React, Vue, and Angular.

   In plain English: A pre-built toolkit that gives developers a structured starting point for building websites and web applications.

   Example: "We evaluated five web frameworks and picked FastAPI because we needed async support and auto-generated OpenAPI docs."
