GraPHP vs Spring Framework: 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; Spring Framework: An application framework and inversion of control container for the Java platform. It provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications - on any kind of deployment platform
The framework's core features can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions for building web applications on top of the Java EE platform..
GraPHP and Spring Framework can be primarily classified 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, Spring Framework provides the following key features:
- Lightweight
- Dependency Injection
- Transaction Management
GraPHP and Spring Framework are both open source tools. It seems that Spring Framework with 30.6K GitHub stars and 19.6K forks on GitHub has more adoption than GraPHP with 135 GitHub stars and 5 GitHub forks.
