MEAN vs ZK: What are the differences?

What is MEAN? A Simple, Scalable and Easy starting point for full stack javascript web development. MEAN (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node) is a boilerplate that provides a nice starting point for MongoDB, Node.js, Express, and AngularJS based applications. It is designed to give you a quick and organized way to start developing MEAN based web apps with useful modules like Mongoose and Passport pre-bundled and configured.

What is ZK? Open source Java framework for building enterprise web and mobile apps. It is renowned for "Ajax without JavaScript", enabling developers to build rich Web applications without any knowledge of Ajax and JavaScript. It is used for building enterprise web and mobile apps.

MEAN and ZK can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

MEAN is an open source tool with 11.8K GitHub stars and 3.58K GitHub forks. Here's a link to MEAN's open source repository on GitHub.
