If you are choosing a web framework tool, the hard part is separating active projects from familiar names. This April 2026 list uses ToolVitals data for web frameworks tools, based on the scores and star counts supplied here.

The ranking is ordered by ToolVitals score first, with GitHub stars used as the secondary popularity signal when scores are tied. In practice, that puts current ToolVitals performance ahead of raw audience size.
