Flask would be my personal preference but I have a Python background (you mentioned PHP so I assumed that was your main language).

Sinatra is in Ruby. The "hello world" looked very similar to Flask but I haven't explored it deeper so no idea.

For PHP maybe also check out Phalcon ? It's not as "light" as the aforementioned ones but maybe they're more conservative in terms of breaking changes?

And probably the nearest equivalent in server-side JavaScript is Express.
