> Frameworks are mostly necessary on the backend. Often not even there! If you use something like BaseX[1] or eXist-db[2], both XML database and XQuery[3] implementations (they also have ways to act as SQL clients), you get REST-, user-, and database-management as native part of the programming language (XQuery). For REST it must implement the RESTXQ[4] module standard, which both the named products do. Since XQuery understands XML natively, you get full templating, database queries, REST routing and much more.
