Application Framework




One of the first commercial application frameworks was MacApp , written by Apple Computer for the Macintosh . Originally written in an extended (object-oriented) version of Pascal , it was later rewritten in C++ . Other popular frameworks for the Mac include Metrowerks Powerplant and MacZoop (all based on Carbon ). A different approach to an application framework is Cocoa for Mac OS X . Free Software frameworks exist as part of the Mozilla , OpenOffice.org , GNOME and KDE projects.

Microsoft created a similar product for Windows called the Microsoft Foundation Classes or MFC .

There are also a number of frameworks which will create identical applications for Linux, Macintosh, and Windows from the same source code, such as the Widget Toolkit s WxWidgets or FOX Toolkit .
