This means that it follows a set of established conventions for structuring and naming files, classes, and methods, which allows developers to quickly get up to speed and start building web applications without having to spend a lot of time configuring the framework.

Another advantage of Rails is its active and supportive community.

This means that developers can take advantage of pre-built functionality, such as authentication and authorization, without having to build it from scratch.
