CherryPy
CherryPy
CherryPy allows developers to build web applications in much the same way they would build any other object-oriented Python program. This results in smaller source code developed in less time. CherryPy is now more than ten years old, and it has proven to be fast and reliable. It is being used in production by many sites, from the simplest to the most demanding. In order to make the most of CherryPy, you should start with the tutorials that will lead you through the most common aspects of the framework. Once done, you will probably want to browse through the basics and advanced sections that will demonstrate how to implement certain operations. Finally, you will want to carefully read the configuration and extend sections that go in-depth regarding the powerful features provided by the framework. -

Sinatra
Sinatra
Sinatra includes a number of built-in settings that control whether certain features are enabled. Settings are application-level variables that are modified using one of the set, enable, or disable methods and are available within the request context via the settings object. Applications are free to set custom settings as well as the default, built-in settings provided by the framework. In its simplest form, the set method takes a setting name and value and creates an attribute on the application. Extensions provide helper or class methods for Sinatra applications. These methods are customarily listed and described on extensions home pages. Using an extension is usually as simple as installing a gem or library and requiring a file. -

Padrino
Padrino
Padrino was created to make it fun and easy to code more advanced web applications while still adhering to the spirit that makes Sinatra great! The Padrino code base has been kept simple and easy to understand, maintain and enhance. The generator for each new project creates a clean and compact directory structure keeping your code simple and well-organized. This framework can be used with ease for web development for a project of any size from your lightweight json web service to a large full-stack web application! Many people love the simplicity and expressiveness of Sinatra but quickly find themselves missing a great deal of functionality provided by other web frameworks such as Rails when building non-trivial applications. Starting from this assumption, we have developed a different approach to a web development framework. -

Javalin
Javalin
You never extend classes and you rarely implement interfaces. Javalin is just a few thousand lines of code on top of Jetty, and its performance is equivalent to raw Jetty code. Due to its size, it's very easy to reason about the source code. Other Java and Kotlin web frameworks usually offer one version for each language. Javalin is being made with inter-operability in mind, apps are built the same way in both Java and Kotlin. Javalin runs on top of Jetty, one of the most used and stable web servers on the JVM. You can configure the Jetty server fully, including SSL and HTTP3 and everything else that Jetty offers. Many lightweight Java and Kotlin web frameworks don't support OpenAPI, but Javalin does. -

TypeORM supports both Active Record and Data Mapper patterns, unlike all other JavaScript ORMs currently in existence, which means you can write high quality, loosely coupled, scalable, maintainable applications the most productive way. -
10
Slim Framework
Slim Framework
Slim is an ideal tool to create APIs that consume, repurpose, or publish data. Slim is also a great tool for rapid prototyping. Heck, you can even build full-featured web applications with user interfaces. More importantly, Slim is super fast and has very little code. You don’t always need a kitchen-sink solution like Symfony or Laravel. These are great tools, for sure. But they are often overkill. Instead, Slim provides only a minimal set of tools that do what you need and nothing else. First, you need a web server like Nginx or Apache. A Slim app contains routes that respond to specific HTTP requests. Each route invokes a callback and returns an HTTP response. To get started, you first instantiate and configure the Slim application. Next, you define your application routes. -

Core ML
Apple
Core ML applies a machine learning algorithm to a set of training data to create a model. You use a model to make predictions based on new input data. Models can accomplish a wide variety of tasks that would be difficult or impractical to write in code. For example, you can train a model to categorize photos or detect specific objects within a photo directly from its pixels. After you create the model, integrate it in your app and deploy it on the user’s device. Your app uses Core ML APIs and user data to make predictions and to train or fine-tune the model. You can build and train a model with the Create ML app bundled with Xcode. Models trained using Create ML are in the Core ML model format and are ready to use in your app. Alternatively, you can use a wide variety of other machine learning libraries and then use Core ML Tools to convert the model into the Core ML format. Once a model is on a user’s device, you can use Core ML to retrain or fine-tune it on-device. -
22
CubicWeb
CubicWeb
Modeling your data is the first step, as it always should be because applications fade away but data is here to stay. Once your model is implemented, your CubicWeb application runs and you can incrementally add high-value functionalities for your users. Based on the application model, RQL is a compact language focused on the attributes and relationships of the data. It is similar to SPARQL but is more readable by human beings. After a RQL request has selected a graph of data, several views can be applied to display the information in the most relevant way. All CubicWeb architecture is designed along this pattern. Permissions are directly defined in the data model with limitless precision. Security checks are automatically added to any RQL request submitted to the engine. CubicWeb relies on a standard SQL database for storing and managing data. PostgreSQL is the preferred database of CubicWeb. -
