Detailed Comparison
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. | It is a framework for RESTful web-applications based on an extensible content tree. It maps HTTP request URLs to content resources based on the request's path, extension and selectors. Using convention over configuration, requests are processed by scripts and servlets, dynamically selected based on the current resource. This fosters meaningful URLs and resource driven request processing, while the modular nature of Sling allows for specialized server instances that include only what is needed. |
Intuitive routing via URI templates and resource classes;Easy access to headers and bodies through request and response classes;Idiomatic HTTP error responses via a handy exception base class;DRY request processing using global, resource, and method hooks;Snappy unit testing through WSGI helpers and mocks;20% speed boost when Cython is available;Python 2.6, Python 2.7, PyPy and Python 3.3/3.4 support | REST based web framework;
Content-driven, using a JCR content repository;
Powered by OSGi;
Scripting inside, multiple languages (JSP, server-side javascript, Scala, etc.);

ExpressJS
Express is a minimal and flexible node.js web application framework, providing a robust set of features for building single and multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
Symfony
It is written with speed and flexibility in mind. It allows developers to build better and easy to maintain websites with PHP..
Spring
A key element of Spring is infrastructural support at the application level: Spring focuses on the "plumbing" of enterprise applications so that teams can focus on application-level business logic, without unnecessary ties to specific deployment environments.
Spring Boot
Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run". We take an opinionated view of the Spring platform and third-party libraries so you can get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration.
