Spring Framework vs Volt: What are the differences?
What is Spring Framework? An application framework and inversion of control container for the Java platform. It provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications - on any kind of deployment platform
The framework's core features can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions for building web applications on top of the Java EE platform..
What is 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.
Spring Framework and Volt can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
Some of the features offered by Spring Framework are:
- Lightweight
- Dependency Injection
- Transaction Management
On the other hand, Volt provides the following key features:
- 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
Spring Framework and Volt are both open source tools. It seems that Spring Framework with 30.6K GitHub stars and 19.6K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Volt with 3.3K GitHub stars and 209 GitHub forks.
