What is Rails?

Rails, also known as Ruby on Rails, is a server-side web application framework written in Ruby under the MIT License. Rails is 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 and XML for data transfer and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the user interface. Rails emphasizes the use of convention over configuration (CoC) and don't repeat yourself (DRY). Common uses include building web applications ranging from simple content management systems to complex e-commerce platforms.
