Ohjelmistokehyskehyksissä

Ohjelmistokehyskehyksissä, often translated as "framework frameworks" or "meta-frameworks" in English, refers to a layer of abstraction above existing software frameworks. Instead of directly building applications on top of a single framework like React or Django, a framework framework provides a set of principles, tools, and conventions that guide how you use and integrate multiple frameworks, or even how you design your own domain-specific frameworks. These meta-frameworks aim to standardize development processes, improve code organization, and foster reusability across different projects or teams.

The primary goal of a framework framework is to address the complexity and potential inconsistencies that can arise when developers work with numerous individual frameworks or custom solutions. They often establish patterns for project structure, data management, testing, deployment, and even user interface design. By providing a unified approach, they can streamline development, reduce the learning curve for new team members, and ensure that applications are built in a maintainable and scalable manner. Examples might include meta-frameworks that define how to integrate a front-end framework with a back-end framework, or how to manage microservices architecture using various underlying technologies. They are not typically end-user applications but rather tools and guidelines for developers.
