Volt vs Zend Framework: What are the differences?

Developers describe Volt as "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. On the other hand, Zend Framework is detailed as "An open source, object-oriented web application framework implemented in PHP 5". Zend Framework 2 is an open source framework for developing web applications and services using PHP 5.3+. Zend Framework 2 uses 100% object-oriented code and utilises most of the new features of PHP 5.3, namely namespaces, late static binding, lambda functions and closures.

Volt and Zend Framework belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.

"Handlebars" is the primary reason why developers consider Volt over the competitors, whereas "Open source" was stated as the key factor in picking Zend Framework.

Volt and Zend Framework are both open source tools. It seems that Zend Framework with 5.71K GitHub stars and 2.87K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Volt with 3.3K GitHub stars and 209 GitHub forks.
