Framework:Frameworks

What is a bot framework?
There are a variety of common bot frameworks available for MediaWiki-based wikis such as the wikis in the Orain wiki farm. These frameworks have been developed using a range of different programming languages, such as Python, Perl, PHP and Java, by which they are also commonly categorized. In such a framework, the vast majority of a bot's code is pre-written by others, and heavily tested, so you don't have to code the basic functionality yourself. Since these bot frameworks are in common usage it is far easier to get bots based on these frameworks approved for use.
