CodeIgniter vs Apache Sling: What are the differences?
CodeIgniter: A Fully Baked PHP Framework. CodeIgniter is a proven, agile & open PHP web application framework with a small footprint. It is powering the next generation of web apps; Apache Sling: Innovative web framework that is intended to bring back the fun to web development. It is a framework for RESTful web-applications based on an extensible content tree. It maps HTTP request URLs to content resources based on the request's path, extension and selectors. Using convention over configuration, requests are processed by scripts and servlets, dynamically selected based on the current resource. This fosters meaningful URLs and resource driven request processing, while the modular nature of Sling allows for specialized server instances that include only what is needed.
CodeIgniter and Apache Sling can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
