Backbone

Overview:

Backbone is lightweight, flexible and offers a minimalist solution to separating concerns in an application. It is not super opinionated and does not lock a developer into the Backbone way of doing things. Out of the box, the framework supports a persistence layer, RESTful sync, models, views, collections, event-driven communication, templating and routing. Developers are not locked into these constructs and have the ability to provide their own implementations.

...

Highlights:

  • Follows Model-View* 
  • Minimal size with about 800 lines of code
  • RESTful models
  • Simple views (Must provide view-rendering mechanism)
  • No impact on server architecture
  • No impact on file organization
  • Does not need to own the entire page
  • Choose your own template engine (String-based handlebars.js is most common).
  • Routing (optional)
