Exoskeleton
A faster, leaner Backbone.js alternative for modern HTML5 applications.
What is Exoskeleton?
Exoskeleton is a lightweight, high-performance JavaScript framework that serves as a faster and leaner alternative to Backbone.js for building HTML5 applications. It maintains Backbone's familiar API while removing hard dependencies on Underscore and optimizing for speed, making it suitable for modern web development where performance and minimalism are key.
Frontend developers building single-page applications (SPAs) or HTML5 apps who are familiar with Backbone.js but seek a more performant, dependency-free alternative without sacrificing the core MVC structure.
Developers choose Exoskeleton over Backbone.js for its significant performance improvements, flexibility in builds, and reduced dependency overhead, all while retaining the intuitive Backbone API they already know.
