- I was wondering what is the difference between frameworks and programming library.
- In essence.
- Library is a collection of codes that can be used that usually serve specific purposes.
- Framework is a collection of codes and binaries for automation, IDE, and tools.
- So, framework itself is a set of development environment. This including the library itself.
- GameMaker Studio and Unity is an example of video game framework.
- Library is like SDL or Phaser.
- Here is another reference from StackOverflow, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/148747/what-is-the-difference-between-a-framework-and-a-library.
- The screenshot.
- The difference can also be derived by who is controlling whom.
- There are these.
- Framework.
- Library.
- Your codes.
- Your codes calls library.
- Your codes called by framework.
