Snippet from Wikipedia: Web framework: A web framework (WF) or web application framework (WAF) is a software framework that is designed to support the development of web applications including web services, web resources, and web APIs. Web frameworks provide a standard way to build and deploy web applications on the World Wide Web. Web frameworks aim to automate the overhead associated with common activities performed in web development. For example, many web frameworks provide libraries for database access, templating frameworks, and session management, and they often promote code reuse. Although they often target development of dynamic web sites, they are also applicable to static websites.

A framework written in JavaScript. It differs from a JavaScript library in its control flow. See http://martinfowler.com/bliki/InversionOfControl.html. A library offers functions to be called by its parent code, whereas a framework defines the entire application design. See http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/a85b23/framework-vs-library. A developer does not call a framework; instead it is the framework that will call and use the code in some particular way.

Some JavaScript frameworks follow the model–view–controller paradigm designed to segregate a web application into orthogonal units to improve code quality and code maintainability.

Less important or older JS frameworks include Ember.js, Meteor.js.
