<h2>Why Web Notes Framework?<a class="headerlink" href="#why-web-notes-framework" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>This question was not relevant in 2005 when the Framework started being developed, now however,
there are many popular frameworks beginning with Ruby on Rails, Django, GWT etc. Does it make sense to look
at yet another framework? We think yes, here are a few reasons:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>It is a pure meta-data framework, not based on templates that most frameworks support, taking automation
the next level</li>
<li>It has back-end and front-end integrated with built-in AJAX</li>
<li>It has more features out-of-the box than any other framework</li>
<li>It is extremely light weight and runs on Apache-CGI</li>
</ul>
