Spark is a micro web framework in Java, inspired from Sinatra (a popular lightweight web framework in Ruby). Using spark, you can quickly build web applications in Java, with minimal effort (without going through the boring xml configurations steps). If you learning java, then you can learn a lot by reading the source (since, it’s a free and open source framework).
