Foundation framework

The Foundation framework is a set of tools and pre-built code provided by Apple to help developers build apps more efficiently. It offers essential functions like handling text, dates, numbers, files, and networking, allowing programmers to focus on unique features rather than basic tasks. Think of it as a foundation or backbone for app development that streamlines common programming needs, ensures consistency, and improves performance across Apple platforms such as iOS and macOS. This helps developers create stable, reliable apps faster and with less effort.
