What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Backbone.js

Backbone.js provides a lightweight framework that helps developers build maintainable web applications by separating application logic from DOM manipulation. It offers models with key-value binding and event systems, collections for managing related data, views for rendering interfaces, and routers for client-side navigation, reducing the complexity of keeping data synchronized across the browser, application layer, and server.

Independently observed
