Backbone.js is a JavaScript library that provides a lightweight framework for building structured web applications. It emphasizes the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, making it ideal for organizing complex client-side logic. 📊

Core Features

  • Models: Handle data and business logic
  • Views: Render models to the DOM
  • Collections: Manage groups of models
  • Events: Enable communication between components
  • Routers: Define application URLs and navigation

  • Want to separate data from UI

  • Prefer a framework with minimal overhead

Example Workflow

  1. Define a Model for data storage
  2. Create a View to bind UI elements
  3. Use Collections to manage multiple models
  4. Trigger Events for interactivity
  5. Configure Routers for navigation
