Frameworks

There are a number of other notable frameworks available for Ethereum development. It is almost impossible to cover all of them, but an introduction to some of the mainstream frameworks and tools is given as follows.

Truffle

Truffle (available at https://www.trufflesuite.com) is a development environment that makes it easier and simpler to test and deploy Ethereum contracts. Truffle provides contract compilation and linking along with an automated testing framework using Mocha and Chai. It also makes it easier to deploy the contracts to any privatenet, public, or testnet Ethereum blockchain. Also, an asset pipeline is provided, which makes it easier for all JavaScript files to be processed, making them ready for use by a browser.
