Understanding Libraries vs. Frameworks: Real-Life Illustrations By AbdulsalamAmtech

The difference between a library and a framework can be illustrated with real-life examples.

A library is like buying bread and eggs: pre-made components that speed up development, doing one thing well.

A framework is like getting a complete breakfast from the store: it simplifies many tasks at once.

Building from scratch is like making bread and eggs entirely by yourself: time-consuming and complex.

Libraries like jQuery and Tailwind help specific tasks, while frameworks like Laravel and Bootstrap offer comprehensive solutions.
