ok... so an API is like a lower level framework? wikipedia states that Carbon and Cocoa are APIs on Mac, but i always thought those were frameworks.
An API is the soup, the framework is the tin it comes in. Soup also comes in cartons and bowls. But if you were handed a tin of soup, you might just call it 'soup' rather than 'a tin of soup', since the tin doesn't really matter, it's just the container.
