Detailed Comparison

PHP-MVC
PHP-MVC
Volt
Volt
Dropwizard
Dropwizard

This project is - by intention - NOT a full framework, it's a bare-bone structure, written in purely native PHP ! The php-mvc skeleton tries to be the extremely slimmed down opposite of big frameworks like Zend2, Symfony or Laravel.

Volt is a ruby web framework where your ruby code runs on both the server and the client (via opal.) The DOM automatically update as the user interacts with the page. Page state can be stored in the URL, if the user hits a URL directly, the HTML will first be rendered on the server for faster load times and easier indexing by search engines.

Dropwizard is a sneaky way of making fast Java web applications. Dropwizard pulls together stable, mature libraries from the Java ecosystem into a simple, light-weight package that lets you focus on getting things done.

-
Instead of syncing data between the client and server via HTTP, volt uses a persistent connection between the client and server;When data is updated on one client, it is updated in the database and any other listening clients (with almost no setup code needed);Pages HTML is written in a handlebars like template language;Volt uses data flow/reactive programming to automatically and intelligently propagate changes to the DOM (or anything other code wanting to know when a value updates)
