Inside-out vs outside in (Score:1)

by Alias (5735) on 2007.10.01 14:40 (#58143) Homepage Journal

A library proves a piece of functionality that can be dropped into a program.

A framework defines the outside boundaries of the problem to be solved, and assists in the solution.

Library is like this...

Framework is like this

|-->FRAMEWORK...PROBLEM...FRAMEWORK--|

The key distinction here for me is that if you use a bad library, you can swap it out for a better one.

If you hit the limits of your framework, you are in much bigger trouble.
