Rails is the MVC that works seamlessly with the programming language Ruby. Working together, they're known as Ruby on Rails, or RoR.

Rails is a full-stack, open-source web framework in Ruby for writing real-world applications. Being a full-stack framework means that all layers are built to work seamlessly together.
