A Software Framework is a software construct that provides reusable architectural foundations and standardized components for developing software applications.
- AKA: Application Framework.
- Context:
- It can typically provide Software Framework Architecture through software framework design patterns.
- It can typically offer Software Framework Components for implementing software framework functionality.
- It can typically establish Software Framework Conventions for maintaining software framework consistency.
- It can typically include Software Framework Libraryes for accessing software framework capability.
- It can typically enforce Software Framework Standards through software framework constraints.
- It can typically support Software Framework Extensions through software framework plugin mechanisms.
- It can typically enable Software Framework Reusability through software framework modular design.
- ...
- It can often provide Software Framework Templates for accelerating software framework development.
- It can often include Software Framework Tools for supporting software framework workflows.
- It can often facilitate Software Framework Integrations through software framework interfaces.
- It can often implement Software Framework Abstractions for hiding software framework complexity.
- It can often support Software Framework Documentation through software framework guides.
- It can often enable Software Framework Testing through software framework test harnesses.
- It can often provide Software Framework Security through software framework protection mechanisms.

- It can range from being a Minimal Software Framework to being a Comprehensive Software Framework, depending on its software framework scope.
- It can range from being a Domain-Specific Software Framework to being a General-Purpose Software Framework, depending on its software framework applicability.
- It can range from being a Lightweight Software Framework to being a Heavyweight Software Framework, depending on its software framework resource requirements.
- It can range from being a Opinionated Software Framework to being a Flexible Software Framework, depending on its software framework prescriptiveness.
- It can range from being a Monolithic Software Framework to being a Microframework, depending on its software framework modularity.
- It can range from being a Compiled Software Framework to being an Interpreted Software Framework, depending on its software framework execution model.
- It can range from being a Single-Platform Software Framework to being a Cross-Platform Software Framework, depending on its software framework platform support.
- It can range from being a Proprietary Software Framework to being an Open-Source Software Framework, depending on its software framework licensing model.
- It can range from being a 3rd-Party Software Framework to being an In-House Software Framework, depending on its software framework development origin.
- It can range from being a Community-Maintained Software Framework to being a Vendor-Maintained Software Framework, depending on its software framework support model.
- It can range from being a Stable-Release Software Framework to being a Bleeding-Edge Software Framework, depending on its software framework release philosophy.
- ...
- It can integrate with Software Development Kit (SDK)s for software framework development support.
- It can work with Software Platforms for software framework deployment.
- It can support Software Components for software framework composition.
- It can enable Software Libraryes for software framework functionality extension.
- It can facilitate Software Tools for software framework development assistance.

- Web Application Framework (WAF)s, such as:
- Counter-Example(s):
- Software Library, which provides utility functions without software framework architectural structure.
- Software Platform, which offers runtime environments without software framework development scaffolds.
- Software Development Kit (SDK), which supplies development tools without software framework application architecture.
- Software Toolkit, which contains tool collections without software framework integrated structure.
- Programming Language, which provides syntax rules without software framework architectural patterns.
