Defining your app at the top-level works well for micro-apps but has
considerable drawbacks when building reusable components such as Rack
middleware, Rails metal, simple libraries with a server component, or
even Sinatra extensions. The top-level DSL pollutes the Object namespace
and assumes a micro-app style configuration (e.g., a single application
file, <tt>./public</tt> and <tt>./views</tt> directories, logging, exception
detail page, etc.). That's where <tt>Sinatra::Base</tt> comes into play:

Contrary to common belief, there is nothing wrong with classic style. If it
suits your application, you do not have to switch to a modular application.
There are only two downsides compared with modular style:
* You may only have one Sinatra application per Ruby process. If you plan to
use more, switch to modular style.
* Classic style pollutes Object with delegator methods. If you plan to ship
your application in a library/gem, switch to modular style.
There is no reason you cannot mix modular and classic style.
The main downsides of using classic style rather than modular style is that
you may only have one Sinatra application per Ruby process. If you plan to use
more than one, switch to modular style. There is no reason you cannot mix
modular and classic style.
If switching from one style to the other, you should be aware of slightly
different default settings:
