GraPHP vs Next.js: What are the differences?
GraPHP: *A PHP graph DB web framework *. The goal of this project is to build a lightweight web framework with a graph DB abstraction. It should be very easy to create the graph schema with no knowledge of of how the data is stored. Also, the schema should be incredibly flexible so you should never need migrations when adding new models (nodes), connections (edges), or data that lives in nodes; Next.js: *A small framework for server-rendered universal JavaScript apps *. Next.js is a minimalistic framework for server-rendered React applications.
GraPHP and Next.js can be categorized as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
Some of the features offered by GraPHP are:
- Full MVC. Zero boilerplate controllers, models, and views.
- Models are your schema. Defining data is up to you (but not required).
- No migrations. Team members can add new models independently without conflicts
On the other hand, Next.js provides the following key features:
- Zero setup. Use the filesystem as an API
- Only JavaScript. Everything is a function
- Automatic server rendering and code splitting
GraPHP and Next.js are both open source tools. Next.js with 38.7K GitHub stars and 4.69K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than GraPHP with 135 GitHub stars and 5 GitHub forks.
