Spine is a lightweight framework for building JavaScript web applications. Spine gives you a MVC structure and then gets out of your way, allowing you to concentrate on
the fun stuff, building awesome web applications.
Some of its features are:
- Class library with real prototypal inheritance
- Lightweight controller implementation, based on Backbone’s API
- Full model layer and ORM
- Ajax and HTML5 Local Storage adapters baked in
- Asynchronous server communication
- Simple and lightweight
Spine is tiny, the library comes in at around 500 lines of JavaScript, that’s about 2K minified & compressed. However, it’s not about size, it’s how you use it, and Spine certainly packs a punch!
