Some web frameworks are known as "full-stack" frameworks because they provide tools and libraries for both the frontend and the backend, covering the complete development cycle of a web application. These frameworks make it possible for developers to work on both the client-side and server-side within a single, cohesive environment, which can streamline the development process by reducing context switching and improving integration between the frontend and backend. Full-stack frameworks offer a comprehensive solution including both frontend and backend development tools. They are designed to facilitate the development of both client and server sides of an application with the same or compatible technologies. - **When to Choose**: - If you're starting a new project from scratch and you want a unified approach to handle both the client-side and server-side. - When you're looking for an all-in-one solution to build a web application, and you prefer to stick with a single language or technology stack throughout the development process. - **Examples**: [Meteor](https://www.meteor.com/) (JavaScript), MEAN/MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular/React, Node.js).
