* Ridiculously fast - Django was designed to help developers take applications from concept to completion as quickly as possible. * Reassuringly secure - Django takes security seriously and helps developers avoid many common security mistakes. * Exceedingly scalable - Some of the busiest sites on the Web leverage Django’s ability to quickly and flexibly scale.

* Sparks intention is to provide a pure Java alternative for developers that want to (or are required to), develop their web application in Java. Spark is built around Java 8's lambda philosophy, which makes a typical Spark application a lot less verbose than most application written in other Java web frameworks. * Spark focuses on being as simple and straight-forward as possible, without the need for cumbersome (XML) configuration, to enable very fast web application development in pure Java with minimal effort. It’s a totally different paradigm when compared to the overuse of annotations for accomplishing pretty trivial stuff seen in other web frameworks. * Spark is a simple, lightweight and not opinionated pure Java web framework that doesn't get in your way, unlike in other Java web frameworks, you can structure your application as you want.
