## Definition[edit | edit source]

"A web application framework is a software framework that is designed to support the development of dynamic websites, Web applications and Web services. The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated with common activities used in Web development. For example, many frameworks provide libraries for database access, templating frameworks and session management, and often promote code reuse. (Wikipedia, retrieved 16:26, 15 September 2007 (MEST))."
