Android SDK vs Zend Framework: What are the differences?
What is Android SDK? An SDK that provides you the API libraries and developer tools necessary to build, test, and debug apps for Android. Android provides a rich application framework that allows you to build innovative apps and games for mobile devices in a Java language environment.
What is Zend Framework? An open source, object-oriented web application framework implemented in PHP 5. Zend Framework 2 is an open source framework for developing web applications and services using PHP 5.3+. Zend Framework 2 uses 100% object-oriented code and utilises most of the new features of PHP 5.3, namely namespaces, late static binding, lambda functions and closures.
Android SDK and Zend Framework can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
"Android development" is the primary reason why developers consider Android SDK over the competitors, whereas "Open source" was stated as the key factor in picking Zend Framework.
Zend Framework is an open source tool with 5.71K GitHub stars and 2.87K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Zend Framework's open source repository on GitHub.
According to the StackShare community, Android SDK has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1083 company stacks & 905 developers stacks; compared to Zend Framework, which is listed in 40 company stacks and 22 developer stacks.
We actually initially wrote a lot of networking code in Kotlin but the complexities involved prompted us to try and compile NodeJS for Android and port over all the networking logic to Node and communicate with node over the Java Native Interface.
This turned out to be a great decision considering our battery usage fell by 40% and rate of development increased by a factor of 2.
