What are the differences between unexpected and Spinach?

	unexpected http://unexpected.js.org/	Spinach https://github.com/codegram/spinach
Programming language	JavaScript	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing
General info	An extensible BDD assertion toolkit Unexpected is an extensible BDD assertion toolkit that is compatible with all test frameworks,is Node.js ready (require('unexpected')) and supports asynchronous assertions using promises among other features. It can be used with any test runner that catches exceptions, but the developer recommends Mocha, Jest or Jasmine as they are integrated tested with every release	Spinach is a BDD framework on top of Gherkin Spinach is a high-level BDD framework that leverages the Gherkin language to help define executable specifications of your application or library's acceptance criteria.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	N/A	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Unexpected can be used in a browser environment to test front-end components and functionality	N/A
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Unexpected is used in a Node.JS environment to test server behaviour and functionality	Yes You can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	No
Group fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data for a group of tests (group-fixtures). This ensures specific environment for a given group of tests.	N/A	No
Generators Supports data generators for tests. Data generators generate input data for test. The test is then run for each input data produced in this way.	N/A	Yes Spinach has inbuilt generator methods
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT License
Mocks Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. Using mocks allows testing some part of the code in isolation (with other parts mocked when needed)	N/A	Yes Spinach can access the rspec-mocks methods
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	N/A	Yes Spinach Integrates with your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
