FRAMEWORK
Is a set of classes that can be used to perform the more mundane
manipulations of the data in your application.
Is an abstraction in which common code providing generic
functionality can be selectively overridden or specialized by user code
providing specic functionality. - Wikipedia
Is a re-usable design for a software system (or subsystem) that may
include support programs, code libraries, a scripting language, or other
software to help develop and glue together the different components
of a software project. Various parts of the framework may be exposed
through an API. - Creativemediafarm
