Open Source Web Frameworks Software
Web Frameworks provide the structural foundation and server-side logic required to build and deploy websites. These tools handle routing, database queries, and content management to reduce the amount of repetitive code written for each project. This type of software serves developers who need to build custom user interfaces or API gateways. By using self-hostable options, you manage the server environment and the underlying database directly. This approach ensures that your application code and site content remain on your own hardware.
