Component Framework (English Component Framework) - a term from the field of component-oriented programming . According to Pfister, this is a collection of component interfaces that form an abstract solution diagram for a family of related problems [1] .
In contrast to the frameworks (frameworks) of old applications, the component framework defines the rules for independently developed and dynamically loaded components, and not for classes that are combined together in a monolithic application. A component framework can provide interfaces, perhaps along with some procedures. In contrast to most application frameworks, component frameworks are black boxes, that is, they can be used without access to their source code. Like a great contract, a clean black box interface is an ideal you can come close to in practice.
