Web application framework

A web application framework (WAF) is a software framework that is designed to support the development of dynamic websites, web applications, web services and web resources.

The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated with common activities performed in web development.

For example, many frameworks provide libraries for database access, templating frameworks and session management, and they often promote code reuse.
