Philosophy
The best code is the one that is not written
Started in 2005, Frappe Framework was inspired by the Semantic Web. The "big idea" behind semantic web was of a framework that not only described how information is shown (like headings, body etc), but also what it means, like name, address etc.
By creating a web framework that allowed for easy definition of metadata, it made building complex applications easy. Applications are usually designed around how users interact with a system, but not based on semantics of the underlying system. Applications built on semantics end up being much more consistent and extensible.
