JavaScript MV* Framework - Making the Right Choice
This document discusses JavaScript MV* frameworks and recommends Exoskeleton as a lightweight alternative to popular frameworks like AngularJS and Backbone. It compares the frameworks based on code size, community support and complexity. While frameworks provide structure, Exoskeleton extends Backbone to be faster and more customizable. The document argues Exoskeleton allows more control over code and fewer dependencies than larger frameworks. An example TODO app demonstrates how to use Exoskeleton.
