EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework)

The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) is a software tool that helps developers create, manage, and generate structured data models efficiently. Think of it as a digital blueprint system: you define the structure of data (like classes and relationships), and EMF automatically produces code to handle, store, and manipulate that data consistently. It's widely used in software development to build complex applications with clearly defined data models, making development faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain. EMF supports model-driven development, allowing changes at the model level to be reflected automatically in the generated code.
