Backbone.js
Backbone.js is a lightweight JavaScript library that provides structure to web applications by offering models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.

Key Features of the Site
Models
Backbone models contain data for an application as well as the logic around this data: conversions, validations, computed properties, and access control.
Views
Backbone views are used to reflect what your applications' data models look like. They are also used to listen to events and react accordingly.
Collections
Backbone collections are ordered sets of models. You can bind "change" events to be notified when any model in the collection has been modified, listen for "add" and "remove" events, fetch the collection from the server, and use a full suite of Underscore.js methods.
RESTful JSON interface
Backbone is pre-configured to sync with a RESTful API. Simply create a new Collection with the url of your resource endpoint, and Backbone will automatically fetch and save models to the server.
Event-driven communication
Backbone's events system allows for decoupled communication between objects. This makes it easy to build applications that are modular and flexible.
