can someone tell me what is the main difference between them?
I googled and think that framework is many libraries. But people are using them interchangeably. i need some confirmation here.
thanks!

Not a lot of difference. Really a library would mean where lots of classes are kept, available for use, and a framework is a lot of classes available for
related purposes

correct me if wrong
i believe that a library is collection of reusable elements
eg: swing, awt
a framework is an approach we take (/borrow/use/incorporate)
eg: AJAX is a framework, spring is a framework

Don't get me started about those stupid
light bulbs
