what is CMF?
According to Wikipedia, a Content Management Framework (CMF) is a system that facilitates the use of reusable components or customized software for managing Web content. It shares aspects of a Web Application Framework (WAF) and a Content Management System (CMS).
In other words, CMF is a huge Lego box where the lego parts are various components like modules, plugins, themes, external libraries with different purposes of functionalities. Some people can use these lego parts to create something simple, and others, like web development experts, can use it for creating big web platforms with pretty complicated functionalities.
difference between CMF and CMS
A CMS is a system used to represent and manage content like text, images, videos, audio, etc. Unlike frameworks, it is based on modules with completed functionality. Sometimes, it's not so simple to extend the existing modules or connect one module with others in CMS.
On the other hand, a CMF (Content Management Framework) is based on components with different purposes that can be easily connected or extended. Using frameworks and best coding practices, web engineers can develop web applications with the ideas of continuous extensibility and maintenance, which is usually required by the business.
Drupal as a Content Management Framework
Drupal is an open-source platform for digital experiences management. As a CMF and WAF, it's a highly configurable and extendable platform that provides great capabilities and endless flexibility on the web. Drupal provides a flexible structure and a large number of components for building web applications like modules, themes, plugins, hooks, services, etc. Developers can easily extend Drupal's core functionality (using contributed or custom code).
