Spark is similar to Sinatra in terms of structure, but is instead meant for developers who want to develop in pure Java. (Sinatra runs on Ruby.)

Spark, unlike many similar frameworks, doesn’t require XML configuration, and altogether tries to provide a framework for rapid app development in a clean environment.

The framework has a basic routing system and offers a number of useful methods (that are rather common in other frameworks, too) for building RESTful web applications.
