Scaffolding is a meta-programming method of building database-backed software applications. It is a technique supported by some model-view-controller frameworks, in which the programmer may write a specification that describes how the application database may be used. The compiler uses this specification to generate code that the application can use to create, read, update and delete database entries, effectively treating the template as a "scaffold" on which to build a more powerful application. Scaffolding is an evolution of database code generators from earlier development environments, such as Oracle's CASE Generator, and many other 4GL client-server software development products.

Scaffolding in web application frameworks

Scaffolding is a meta-programming method of building database-backed software applications. It is a technique that allows a programmer to qickly generate a skeleton interface that allows the user to perform basic CRUD ( Create Read Update Delete) operations on the application's database. The auto-generated interface can then me modified to perform more powerful tasks.
