Yes Ruby on Rails" is a framework. Like many web frameworks, Ruby on Rails uses the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture pattern to organize application programming. Ruby on Rails is separated into various packages, namely ActiveRecord (an object-relational mapping system for database access), Active Resource (provides web services), Action Pack, Active Support and Action Mailer. Prior to version 2.0, Ruby on Rails also included the Action Web Service package that is now replaced by Active Resource. Apart from standard packages, developers can make plugins to extend existing packages.
