What is a Full Stack Web framework?

What is a Full Stack Web framework?

To answer such a question, one must define the basic components of a simple web application:

• database
• backend
• frontend

Any framework that uses one programming language and has tools for all those 3 is considered a full stack one. Starting from database, the framework should be able to query the database without the developer knowing which database is being used or the specifics of it.

The backend is responsible for getting incoming requests and building the responses using data from the database and business logic. Again, the developer should be able to handle incoming requests without the need to get involved in the low level details of the networking and packet handling mechanisms.

As per frontend, this consists of HTML, Javascript and CSS. Javascript and CSS depend on the HTML elements, so the framework should provide tools for creating the HTML elements and structures with ease. Forms, lists and menus are some of the HTML structures that would be produced by the framework, without the developer to write them one by one.

So, full stack frameworks have their libraries configured to work seamlessly together in order to achieve all the above. Also, the fact that all these can be achieved by writing code in only one programming language is what distinguishes them from a simple set of tools .

Popular full stack web frameworks are:

• Ruby on Rails (Ruby)
• Django (Python)
• Symfony (PHP)
• Meteor (JavaScript)
