##What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

Empathy has been an important part of my upbringing, since the time I was a child, to present day where I am a father, going through a divorce, and having to move into my sisters' house and working remotely in said house with two of my siblings who are also working remotely.

Typically it is stored as an object containing data about the subject of the application. The DOM, of Document Object Model, is a representation of the framework of an application, that is interpretted by a web browser. I think of it as a carbon copy of the the HTML.

What is a "framework?" And how does it differ from a "library?"

Analogy: A framework is like a record player (or CD or cassette player) and the libraries are the records (or CD/cassette).
Library: Provides set of rules and 'preloaded' function that can be imported into a project and used in conjunction with vanilla JS and other libraries. Example: You could be using React and also import lodash to use lodash-specific functions.
Framework: Similar to a library, but with tighter restricti
