About

Backbone.js is a JavaScript framework that adds structure to web applications by implementing the MVC pattern.

It offers models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, routers for URL routing, and native support for syncing with RESTful JSON interfaces via a very small (~8 KB) core.

Ext JS is a commercial JavaScript framework for building cross-platform web and mobile applications.

It includes over 140 UI components (grids, pivot grids, charts, calendars, forms, menus, etc.), supports both MVC and MVVM architectures, provides a rich data package for sorting, filtering, and paging large datasets, and offers the Sencha Cmd tools for scaffolding, code minification, and production builds.
