Ruby on Rails, or Rails, is a server-side web application framework written in Ruby that uses a model–view–controller (MVC) framework, providing default structures for a database, a web service, and web pages. It encourages the use of web standards such as JSON or XML for data transfer and HTML, CSS and JavaScript for user interfacing. In addition to MVC, Rails emphasizes the use of other well-known software engineering patterns and paradigms, including convention over configuration (CoC), don't repeat yourself (DRY), and the active record pattern.
