Development Frameworks
Development frameworks are pre-built structures, libraries, and tools that provide a foundation for building software applications, streamlining development by handling common tasks like routing, database interaction, and user interface rendering. They enforce architectural patterns (e.g., MVC, MVVM) to promote code organization, scalability, and maintainability. Examples include web frameworks like Django and React, mobile frameworks like Flutter, and backend frameworks like Spring Boot.
Developers should use frameworks to accelerate development, reduce boilerplate code, and leverage best practices for security, performance, and testing, especially in team environments or for complex projects. They are essential for building scalable web applications (e.g., with Django or Ruby on Rails), creating responsive mobile apps (e.g., with React Native), or developing enterprise backend systems (e.g., with .NET Core).
