Micro-frameworks are definitely the pocketknives of the JavaScript library world: short, sweet, to the point. And at 5k and under, micro-frameworks are very very portable. A micro-framework does one thing and one thing only — and does it well. No cruft, no featuritis, no feature creep, no excess anywhere.

Fantastic Micro-Frameworks and Micro-Libraries for Fun and Profit!
How much library code do you really need — 50K? 100K? 150K? More? How much of that do you really use?
Sure, we all love our favorite monolithic frameworks, and sometimes we even use them fully. But how often do we reach for the ride-on John Deere tractor with air conditioning and six-speaker sound system, when a judiciously applied pocketknife would do the trick better, faster, slicker?
Micro-frameworks are definitely the pocketknives of the JavaScript library world: short, sweet, to the point. And at 5k and under, micro-frameworks are very very portable.

Microjs.com helps you discover the most compact-but-powerful microframeworks, and makes it easy for you to pick one that’ll work for you.
Modern MVC web frameworks often involve a lot of boilerplate code just to support the primary client type of User Agents. This boilerplate code typically does little to help with supporting the other client types of Admin Processes and Unit Tests. As a result of the overhead introduced by this extra boilerplate code, developers often find themselves creating Fat Controllers (a side-effect of The MVC Paradox). Controllers take on too many responsibilities, both vertically and horizontally. Vertically, Controllers start to handle domain logic that should be pushed down to the Model layer. Horizontally, multiple concerns get stuffed into a handful of Controllers. These different horizontal concerns should be separated out into multiple Controllers (the Single Responsibility Principle). The overhead introduced by modern MVC web frameworks leads directly to these problems.
The MVC Paradox – Bradley Holt
» This article is a great read and something I've been pondering myself recently. The author references the Slim micro framework which, at least from a cursory glance, is very similar to Silex. I love Silex for the same reasons he mentions Slim:
There is very little boilerplate code involved in handling a User Agent’s request. Minting and handling new routes is incredibly simple. Placing your entire front-end application layer in one file may seem absurd at first. However, it has the nice side-effect of making it painfully obvious if you start to handle domain logic outside of your Model layer or if one route is doing too many things.
I'd recommend checking out these micro-frameworks. Silex has opened my eyes to a new way of designing web applications and services. Where Zend Framework has complexity, Silex offers simplicity.
EP08 - Choosing Javascript Frameworks Part 2, Microframeworks
This week we talk about what you need to know about choosing micro frameworks. These are small and highly reliable javascript helpers that can be included into any javascript application. They do not depend on any other framework or library, some can even be used out of browser.
