Active Admin vs RESTHeart: What are the differences?

Developers describe Active Admin as "The administration framework for Ruby on Rails applications". Active Admin is a Ruby on Rails framework for creating elegant backends for website administration. On the other hand, RESTHeart is detailed as "Open source Web API server for MongoDB database". It connects to MongoDB and opens data to the Web. Clients such as mobile and javascript apps can use the database via a simple RESTful API.

Active Admin and RESTHeart are primarily classified as "Ruby Utilities" and "Database" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Active Admin are:

• Global Navigation
• Scopes
• Index Styles

On the other hand, RESTHeart provides the following key features:

• Setup in minutes the lightweight and fast microservice with support for MongoDB and AWS DocumentDB
• Available also as a Docker image
• Built on standards, like HTTP, JSON, REST, JSON and JSON Schema

Active Admin and RESTHeart are both open source tools. It seems that Active Admin with 8.61K GitHub stars and 3.06K forks on GitHub has more adoption than RESTHeart with 563 GitHub stars and 138 GitHub forks.
