Silex vs Propel ORM: What are the differences?

Silex: The PHP micro-framework based on the Symfony Components. It is built on the shoulders of Symfony and Pimple and also inspired by sinatra. It has an extension system based around the Pimple micro service-container that makes it even easier to tie in third party libraries; Propel ORM: *A free and open-source object-relational mapping toolkit *. It is an open-source Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) for SQL-Databases in PHP 5.5. It allows you to access your database using a set of objects, providing a simple API for storing and retrieving data.

Silex belongs to "Microframeworks (Backend)" category of the tech stack, while Propel ORM can be primarily classified under "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)".

Some of the features offered by Silex are:

Concise API
Extensible
Testable

On the other hand, Propel ORM provides the following key features:

Highly customizable and blazing fast
ORM library for PHP 5.5+
Supports schema migration for MySQL, SQLite and PostgreSQL

Silex and Propel ORM are both open source tools. It seems that Silex with 3.74K GitHub stars and 741 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Propel ORM with 1.1K GitHub stars and 310 GitHub forks.

Sinatra is a DSL for quickly creating web applications in Ruby with minimal effort.

Lumen

Laravel Lumen is a stunningly fast PHP micro-framework for building web applications with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable, creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Lumen attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as routing, database abstraction, queueing, and caching.

Slim

Slim is easy to use for both beginners and professionals. Slim favors cleanliness over terseness and common cases over edge cases. Its interface is simple, intuitive, and extensively documented — both online and in the code itself.

Sequelize

Sequelize is a promise-based ORM for Node.js and io.js. It supports the dialects PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite and MSSQL and features solid transaction support, relations, read replication and more.

Fastify

Fastify is a web framework highly focused on speed and low overhead. It is inspired from Hapi and Express and as far as we know, it is one of the fastest web frameworks in town. Use Fastify can increase your throughput up to 100%.

Falcon

Falcon is a minimalist WSGI library for building speedy web APIs and app backends. We like to think of Falcon as the Dieter Rams of web frameworks.
