What are Microframeworks for Ruby?
Microframeworks are lightweight web application frameworks that provide basic functionality such as routing, request and response handling, templating and input validation. They typically do not include any libraries or helpers for common tasks, leaving developers with the freedom to choose their own libraries for such functions. Microframeworks are designed for applications that require minimal setup and fast development cycles, although they may also be suitable for larger applications. They offer an alternative to full-stack frameworks. Compare and read user reviews of the best Microframeworks for Ruby currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

Nancy
Nancy
Welcome to Nancy, our main inspiration is the Sinatra framework for Ruby and, hence, Nancy was named after the daughter of Frank Sinatra. NancyFx is the name of the umbrella project that contains all the components. Nancy is a lightweight, low-ceremony, framework for building HTTP-based services on .NET and Mono. The goal of the framework is to stay out of the way as much as possible and provide a super-duper-happy path to all interactions. This means that everything in Nancy is setup to have sensible defaults and conventions, instead of making you jump through hoops and go through configuration hell just to get up and running. With Nancy you can go from zero to website in a matter of minutes. Nancy is built to run anywhere and we mean it. Right from the start, Nancy was designed to not have any dependencies on existing frameworks. Built with the .NET framework client profile, Nancy can be used pretty much wherever you want to.Starting Price: Free -

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. -
