What is Ruby on Rails?

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 or XML for data transfer and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the user interface. Rails emphasizes the use of convention over configuration (CoC) and the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. It is commonly used for building dynamic web applications.
