Backbone is a JavaScript library with a RESTful JSON interface, and is loosely based on the model–view–controller (MVC) application design paradigm. Backbone is known for being lightweight, as its only dependency is on one JavaScript library[1], Underscore.js. It is designed for developing single-page web applications,[2] and for keeping various parts of web applications (e.g. multiple clients and the server) synchronized.[3] Backbone was created by Jeremy Ashkenas, who is also known for CoffeeScript.[4]
