Few alternatives for Ruby web framework

Why Ruby? Ruby is a new era web domain specific language to develop quick web applications on the fly. Recently, we have seen a sudden increase in the demand of web developers and web applications in the industry. This is due to an unexpected growth of handheld computer devices like smart phones and tablets. These smart phones and tablets are enabled with internet connectivity and hence having browsers. Through these mobile browsers, users can remain online with the help of mobile internet networks. Anyway, this situation favours for increasing demands for web applications. To get advantage from this situation, many web domain specific languages have come up to market to serve the industry in better way. Ruby- a web domain language is getting tremendous support from the industry in the form of many frameworks that can help the Ruby developers in developing quick web applications. Let us have a quick look over some web frameworks that are helping the web developers to a great extend.

Rails porting and Migration
Ruby on Rails: Probably there is anyone who has not heard about Rails who has smallest knowledge on Ruby; because, Ruby is always associated with Rails as “Ruby on Rails” in the industry. RoR is the most popular and widely used Ruby framework in the industry. Ruby developers find it extremely useful while developing on Rails platform; because there is no sign of incompatibility issue in this language- framework combo. Ruby on Rails is extraordinarily simple and funny to learn and develop enterprise standard web solutions on the go. Since this is a combo; we can expect an unmatched quality of compatibility between the two. Hence, this is extremely popular in the industry. It can help any web developer in quick and efficient web development without compromising on the quality of the application.

Lotus framework: This is yet another alternative for Ruby developers to develop web applications on the fly. This is light weight framework that can be used to develop quick web applications with less resource with more efficiency. It is said that “Lotus brings back Object Oriented Programming to web development, leveraging a stable API, minimal DSL and plain objects.” Due to its small size, it is fast and testable easily. Lotus is made up of various lotus components which are also called as lotus frameworks.

NyNy framework: NYNY - a (ridiculously) small and powerful web framework. This is a micro framework; still it is extremely powerful and efficient. This is extremely helpful for developing light weight web apps that is extremely useful for small handheld computer devices like smart phones and tablets. The best part is NyNy micro framework holds the web application on its backbone so that there is no issue of transformation in the application.

Grape: Grape says “You don’t need a hand saw to slice an apple” i.e. if your requirement is less why you waste your time and money for something that is not required at all in your application. If your application requires less resource, then why you spend more effort for Rails, i.e with a bigger framework! You can simply choose Grape for your needs. It will keep your Ruby application not only light weight but also efficient and optimized!!
