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.

Marionette is a framework that extends Backbone.js with robust views and architecture solutions.

It adds view types such as ItemView, CollectionView, CompositeView, and Layout with region management, includes automatic cleanup of child views to prevent memory leaks, uses Backbone.Radio for decoupled messaging, and provides utility functions and normalized method/event binding.
