Atmosphere vs Grails: What are the differences?
Atmosphere: Realtime Client Server Framework for the JVM, supporting WebSockets and Cross-Browser Fallbacks Support. The Atmosphere Framework contains client and server side components for building Asynchronous Web Applications. The majority of popular frameworks are either supporting Atmosphere or supported natively by the framework. The Atmosphere Framework supports all major Browsers and Servers; Grails: An Open Source, full stack, web application framework for the JVM. Grails is a framework used to build web applications with the Groovy programming language. The core framework is very extensible and there are numerous plugins available that provide easy integration of add-on features.
Atmosphere and Grails can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
"Cross-Browse" is the top reason why over 2 developers like Atmosphere, while over 44 developers mention "Groovy" as the leading cause for choosing Grails.
Atmosphere and Grails are both open source tools. It seems that Atmosphere with 3.34K GitHub stars and 720 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Grails with 2.48K GitHub stars and 945 GitHub forks.
