The number of web apps that are being created has been grown rapidly since the early 2000′s and more importantly so has the sheer complexity of them especially on the front end. Today’s post features 10 JavaScript MVC frameworks that aims to help you simplify your front end application development.
1. Backbone.js
Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.
2. Ember
Ember.js (formerly SproutCore 2.0) is a JavaScript framework that does all of the heavy lifting that you’d normally have to do by hand. There are tasks that are common to every web app; Ember.js does those things for you, so you can focus on building killer features and UI.
3. AngularJS
AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly.
It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding. To help you structure your application better and make it easy to test AngularJS teaches the browser how to do dependency injection and inversion of control. It also helps with server-side communication, taming async callbacks with promises and deferreds; and make client-side navigation and deeplinking with hashbang urls or HTML5 pushState a piece of cake. The best of all: it makes development fun
4. Batman.JS
Batman.js is a framework for building rich web applications with CoffeeScript or JavaScript. App code is concise and declarative, thanks to a powerful system of view bindings and observable properties. The API is designed with developer and designer happiness as its first priority.
5. Spine.JS
Spine is a lightweight framework for building JavaScript web applications. Spine gives you an MVC structure and then gets out of your way, allowing you to concentrate on the fun stuff, building awesome web applications. Spine is opinionated in its approach to web application architecture and design. Spine’s architecture complements patterns such as de-coupled components and CommonJS modules, markedly helping with code quality and maintainability.
The library is written in CoffeeScript, but doesn’t necessarily require CoffeeScript to develop applications. You can use CoffeeScript or JavaScript, whichever language you’re most familiar with. Spine is tiny, the library comes in at around 500 lines of CoffeeScript. Being lightweight and simple is fundamental to Spine.
6. Cappuccino
Cappuccino is an open source application framework for developing applications that look and feel like the desktop software users are familiar with.
Cappuccino is built on top of standard web technologies like JavaScript, and it implements most of the familiar APIs from GNUstep and Apple’s Cocoa frameworks. When you program in Cappuccino, you don’t need to concern yourself with the complexities of traditional web technologies like HTML, CSS, or even the DOM. The unpleasantries of building complex cross browser applications are abstracted away for you.
7. Sammy.JS
Sammy.js is a tiny JavaScript framework developed to ease the pain and provide a basic structure for developing JavaScript applications. Sammy tries to achieve this by providing a small ‘core’ framework and an ever-growing list of plugins for specific functionality.
The core includes a simple API for defining applications which are made up primarily of routes and events. By driving application development around a small and specific API, Sammy attempts to keep your code organized while still allowing a lot of breathing room to define your own style and structure.
8. Knockout
Knockout is a JavaScript library that helps you to create rich, responsive display and editor user interfaces with a clean underlying data model. Any time you have sections of UI that update dynamically (e.g., changing depending on the user’s actions or when an external data source changes), KO can help you implement it more simply and maintainable.
9. JavaScript MVC
JavaScriptMVC is an open-source JavaScript application framework that is based on jQuery and OpenAjax. It extends those libraries with a model–view–controller architecture and tools for testing and deployment. As it does not depend on server components, this framework can be combined with any web service interface and server side language.
10. Agility.js
Agility.js is an MVC library for Javascript that lets you write maintainable and reusable browser code without the verbose or infrastructural overhead found in other MVC libraries. The goal is to enable developers to write web apps at least as quickly as with jQuery, while simplifying long-term maintainability through MVC objects.
