Todo-Backend

http://www.todobackend.com/

"The Todo-Backend project helps showcase and compare different language and framework combinations for building web services. This website defines a simple web API in the form of a todo list and users can create their own identical APIs using various tech stacks. This website then provides a spec runner to verify that the user implementation is identical to the base implementation."
