Dropwizard is a Java framework for developing ops-friendly, high-performance, RESTful web services. It pulls together stable, mature libraries from the Java ecosystem into a simple, light-weight package that lets you focus on getting things done. 
 
Dropwizard has out-of-the-box support for sophisticated configuration, application metrics, logging, operational tools, and much more, allowing you and your team to ship a production-quality web service in the shortest time possible.
 
Dropwizard straddles the line between being a library and a framework. Its goal is to provide performant, reliable implementations of everything a production-ready web application needs. Because this functionality is extracted into a reusable library, your application remains lean and focused, reducing both time-to-market and maintenance burdens.

chi is a lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go 1.7+ HTTP services. It's especially good at helping you write large REST API services that are kept maintainable as your project grows and changes. chi is built on the new context package introduced in Go 1.7 to handle signaling, cancelation and request-scoped values across a handler chain. 
The focus of the project has been to seek out an elegant and comfortable design for writing REST API servers, written during the development of the Pressly API service that powers our public API service, which in turn powers all of our client-side applications.

Swagger is a powerful open source framework backed by a large ecosystem of tools that helps you design, build, document, and consume your RESTful APIs. The goal of Swagger is to define a standard, language-agnostic interface to REST APIs which allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of the service without access to source code, documentation, or through network traffic inspection.

A Node.js web service framework optimized for building semantically correct RESTful web services ready for production use at scale. restify optimizes for introspection and perfromance, and is used in some of the largest Node.js deployments on Earth. 
 
Running at scale requires the ability to trace problems back to their origin by separating noise from signal. restify is built from the ground up with post-mortem debugging in mind.

Javalin is a very lightweight web framework for Kotlin and Java, inspired by Sparkjava and koa.js. Javalin is written in Kotlin with a few functional interfaces written in Java. This was necessary to provide an enjoyable and near identical experience for both Kotlin and Java developers.
<ul>
 <li>Lightweight - You don’t have to learn any advanced concepts to get started</li>
 <li>Consistent API - All handlers and mappers are void and operate on the Context (ctx)</li>
 <li>Almost identical API for both Kotlin and Java</li>
 <li>Not opinionated - A library rather than a framework (you never have to extend anything)</li>
 <li>Fully customizable embedded server (Jetty)</li>
 <li>JSON-object-mapping (via Jackson)</li>
 <li>Simple per-endpoint auth via <code class="highlighter-rouge">AccessManager</code> interface</li>
 <li>Simple static file handling</li>
 <li>Lifecycle events</li>
 <li>CookieStore - An easy way to serialize and store objects in cookies</li>
 <li>Template rendering (Velocity, Freemarker, Thymeleaf, Mustache)</li>
 <li>Markdown rendering</li>

RESTX is the lightweight, modular, feature rich, blazing fast, open source Java REST framework. It shares similarities with modern frameworks like Play! like hot compile and a very productive experience, but focused on REST and pure Java.
 
It is focused more on Rest. This implies that it’s not a general web framework, i.e., there is no templating mechanism. It’s better use with a JavaScript framework on the client side, and you can always use any other templating mechanism to serve your pages.
