About

Backbone.js is a free and open-source JavaScript library, originating from the United States, designed to provide structure to JavaScript-heavy applications. It achieves this by offering models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, and views with declarative event handling, all connecting to existing applications over a RESTful interface. Primarily an online platform, it is categorized under MVC, Javascript, and Javascript Libraries. Its development is accessible via GitHub at https://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/. While specific details regarding its founding year, leadership, financial performance, employee count, market position, or competitors are not available, its core offering is to streamline web application development.
