Basically like when you call something like:

   Math.abs(-5)
That's a library call.

A framework is like django or rails. You have to structure your code to fit within django's paradigm, while a library is just utilities you can use in your own code...

And what about React? If you search for "is React a framework" you'll come up with many, many people saying that it's a library. And yet, when writing a React app you absolutely have to structure your code a certain way.

Things can be both a library and a framework. You can use react like a utility and react itself can take have code injected in it.
