Sinatra is a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for quickly creating web-applications with minimal effort.
Sinatra is small and flexible. It does not follow the typical model–view–controller pattern used in other frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. Because of much smaller size compared to Ruby on Rails, it is also called microframework. It keeps a minimal feature set, leaving the developer to use the tools that best suit them and their application.
Sinatra really shines when used for experiments and application mock-ups or for creating a quick interface for your code.
Sinatra is free and open source software.
