Framework - A framework is basically a set of software tools that take care of common tasks necessary for the development of web applications or sites. These common tasks include accessing databases, managing sessions, creating displays of HTML and using templating, which is a way of separating the layout from the content. For example if you think about a facebook page, the layout is pretty much set, there are menus and areas of the page that don't move, however the *content* of some of the areas in this layout

For example if you think about a facebook page, the layout is pretty much set, there are menus and areas of the page that don't move, however the *content* of some of the areas in this layout changes according to your actions, like uploading a new profile picture, or sharing a new video . A basic tenet for using a framework is to promote the efficient writing of code and avoiding repetition. The complexity of a framework is proportional to the number of tools or libraries that it offers.
