Hanami is a Ruby framework introduced about five years ago and initially called Lotus. The framework is the brainchild of developer Luca Guidi.
On the project’s website, Hanami is described as “a modern framework for Ruby”. It features fast response times and security features by default, and it is very lightweight.
But even so, you may be wondering what “Hanami” means? Well, it comes from the Japanese language and means “flower viewing”, a rather popular activity where people sit together to enjoy flower blossoms.
From descriptions given by the language’s developer, the name Hanami is a tribute to the rich Japanese heritage that the Ruby language is built upon, something the developer, Luca Guidi wanted to highlight in the Hanami framework.
In this article, we’ll focus more on the latest version, 2.0.
