* The Padrino code base has been kept simple and easy to understand, maintain and enhance. The generator for each new project creates a clean and compact directory structure keeping your code simple and well organized. * This framework can be used with ease for web development for a project of any size from your lightweight json web service to a large full-stack web application! * Padrino ships with an Admin Interface that includes ORM/ODM, authentication, template, scaffold, and i18n. * Building on our experience in developing web applications, we designed a framework that meets all the requirements for creating a top notch web application in a clean, concise and simple environment, with minimal deadline delays. * Padrino is ORM/ODM, JavaScript, testing, rendering, and mocking agnostic supporting the use of any number of available libraries.

* 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.
