RubyOnRails

Ruby on Rails, often just called Rails, is an open-source web application framework written in Ruby. Rails follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern, providing default structures for databases, web services, and web pages. It encourages the use of web standards such as JSON or XML for data transfer and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for user interfacing. One of Rails’ key principles is “Convention over Configuration,” meaning that the programmer does not have to spend a lot of time configuring files to get set up, Rails comes with a set of conventions which help speed up development. Another key principle is the DRY principle - “Don’t Repeat Yourself,” this principle means that definitions should only happen once. Rails also includes seamless database table creations, migrations, and scaffolding of views to speed up application development. It also supports software testing by including several testing facilities. Rails’ influence on web application development continues to be significant and it has inspired several frameworks in other languages.
