hapi vs Lumen: What are the differences?

hapi: Server Framework for Node.js. hapi is a simple to use configuration-centric framework with built-in support for input validation, caching, authentication, and other essential facilities for building web applications and services; Lumen: The stunningly fast PHP micro-framework by Laravel. Laravel Lumen is a stunningly fast PHP micro-framework for building web applications with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable, creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Lumen attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as routing, database abstraction, queueing, and caching.

hapi and Lumen belong to "Microframeworks (Backend)" category of the tech stack.

"Makes me Hapi making REST APIs" is the primary reason why developers consider hapi over the competitors, whereas "API" was stated as the key factor in picking Lumen.
