Both the Library and Framework plays a vital role in software development. A library performs a specific or well-defined operation, whereas a framework provides a skeleton where programmers define the application content of the operation.
But when it comes to the Key difference, I would say – Inversion of Control. When we call a function or a method from a library, we are in control. But in the other case, the framework calls our code and thus the control is inverted. In most of the cases, the framework only provides the concept. It’s the application’s job to further define the functionality for end users.
I hope this article helped you understand the difference between a library and a framework. There are thousands of libraries available for almost every language, and helping programmers to reuse the code written by others. On the other hand, frameworks help them focus on development rather than issues.
