Lift Framework vs Mustache: What are the differences?

What is Lift Framework? The most powerful, most secure web framework available today. Lift creates abstractions that allow easier expression of business logic and then maps those abstractions to HTTP and HTML. This approach differs from traditional web frameworks which build abstractions on top of HTTP and HTML and require the developer to bridge between common business logic patterns and the underlying protocol.

What is Mustache? Logic-less templates. Mustache is a logic-less template syntax. It can be used for HTML, config files, source code - anything. It works by expanding tags in a template using values provided in a hash or object. We call it "logic-less" because there are no if statements, else clauses, or for loops. Instead there are only tags. Some tags are replaced with a value, some nothing, and others a series of values.

Lift Framework can be classified as a tool in the "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category, while Mustache is grouped under "Templating Languages & Extensions".

"Open source" is the primary reason why developers consider Lift Framework over the competitors, whereas "Dead simple templating" was stated as the key factor in picking Mustache.

Lift Framework and Mustache are both open source tools. It seems that Mustache with 13.2K GitHub stars and 2.3K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Lift Framework with 1.19K GitHub stars and 270 GitHub forks.
