hapi vs Akka HTTP: What are the differences?

Developers describe hapi as "Server Framework for Node.js". hapi is a simple to use configuration-centric framework with built-in support for input validation, caching, authentication, and other essential facilities for building web applications and services. On the other hand, Akka HTTP is detailed as "HTTP client and server built on Akka actors and streams". The Akka HTTP modules implement a full server- and client-side HTTP stack on top of akka-actor and akka-stream. It’s not a web-framework but rather a more general toolkit for providing and consuming HTTP-based services. While interaction with a browser is of course also in scope it is not the primary focus of Akka HTTP.

hapi and Akka HTTP can be categorized as "Microframeworks (Backend)" tools.

hapi is an open source tool with 12.4K GitHub stars and 1.27K GitHub forks. Here's a link to hapi's open source repository on GitHub.
