Microframework

A microframework is a term used to refer to minimalistic web application frameworks. It is contrasted with full-stack framework also called enterprise frameworks.

It lacks most of the functionality which is common to expect in a full fledged web application framework, such as;

• Accounts, authentication, authorization, roles, etc.
• Database abstraction via a object-relational mapping.
• Input validation and input sanitation.
• Web template engine.
