GraPHP vs Trailblazer: What are the differences?
Developers describe GraPHP as "A PHP graph DB web framework *". The goal of this project is to build a lightweight web framework with a graph DB abstraction. It should be very easy to create the graph schema with no knowledge of of how the data is stored. Also, the schema should be incredibly flexible so you should never need migrations when adding new models (nodes), connections (edges), or data that lives in nodes. On the other hand, *Trailblazer** is detailed as "A new architecture for Rails". Trailblazer is a thin layer on top of Rails. It gently enforces encapsulation, an intuitive code structure and gives you an object-oriented architecture. In a nutshell: Trailblazer makes you write logicless models that purely act as data objects, don't contain callbacks, nested attributes, validations or domain logic. It removes bulky controllers and strong_parameters by supplying additional layers to hold that code and completely replaces helpers.
GraPHP and Trailblazer can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
GraPHP and Trailblazer are both open source tools. Trailblazer with 2.91K GitHub stars and 129 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than GraPHP with 135 GitHub stars and 5 GitHub forks.
