Tool vs Framework vs Library vs Service vs Platform

[japananh]

• Tool: A software application with a specific purpose. GitHub provides specific tools for interaction, like the GitHub CLI or GitHub Desktop, but GitHub itself is broader than a single tool.
• Framework: Provides a structure or set of conventions to build software applications.
• Libraries: Collections of routines, functions, or classes that an application can use.
• Service: A function one program or machine provides for other programs or machines.
• Platform: Provides an environment for developing, running, or managing applications. GitHub fits this definition as it provides an environment for developers to collaborate, manage, and track their codebase changes.
