Lift Framework vs Volt: What are the differences?
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; Volt: A ruby web framework where your ruby runs on both server and client. 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.
Lift Framework and Volt can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
"Open source" is the top reason why over 4 developers like Lift Framework, while over 2 developers mention "Handlebars" as the leading cause for choosing Volt.
Lift Framework and Volt are both open source tools. Volt with 3.3K GitHub stars and 209 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Lift Framework with 1.19K GitHub stars and 270 GitHub forks.
