FRAMEWORKS

The “framework” designation covers a spectrum of different patterns, but in some form they all provide an opinionated organizational structure within which complex applications can take shape. Using a framework allows for applications to maintain consistent code conventions while elegantly scaling in size and complexity. They offer robust mechanisms for common tasks such as component definition and reuse, controlling data flow, routing, and many others.

Increasingly, JavaScript frameworks take the form of a single page application (SPA). Single page applications use the HTML5 browser history API to offer an entire application user interface, complete with URL routing, with only a single initial page load. The framework manages the application state as well as all the user interface components during the application's execution. Most popular SPA frameworks have strong developer communities as well as an abundance of third-party extensions.
