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.

GWT is an open-source development toolkit that lets developers write front-end web applications in Java and compile them into optimized JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

It offers built-in support for rich UI widgets, asynchronous remote procedure calls, code splitting and resource bundling, debugging in Java IDEs, and internationalization features.
