====Application Framework====
~An **application framework** standardizes structure in a development environment (such as an operating system or a web application).  Application frameworks provide tools for implementing standard application elements, which is especially useful for GUI development.

~A number of frameworks can build cross-platform applications for Linux, Macintosh, and Windows from the same source code, such as [[Qt]], [[wxWidgets]] aka ""wxGtk"" , [[Fox FOX toolkit]] or [[Eclipse Eclipse RCP]].
