Backbone-tastypie
A compatibility layer to make Backbone.js work seamlessly with Django Tastypie and similar REST APIs.
What is Backbone-tastypie?
Backbone-tastypie is a small JavaScript library that acts as a compatibility layer between Backbone.js and Django Tastypie. It solves the problem of mismatched API conventions by overriding Backbone's sync, URL building, and data parsing methods to align with Tastypie's RESTful behavior, ensuring seamless data synchronization.
Developers building web applications with Backbone.js on the frontend and Django Tastypie (or similar REST APIs) on the backend who need reliable client-server communication.
It provides a lightweight, drop-in solution that handles Tastypie-specific quirks like empty POST/PUT responses and CSRF tokens, reducing boilerplate code and integration headaches compared to manual Backbone-Tastypie wiring.
