Lately I've seen a couple people refer to Backbone as "heavy," which I just don't understand, as it seems about as lightweight as possible for the functionality it provides. Could you explain what you mean?
- oinksoft 14y agoWell, that's the thing, it provides more functionality than many people need, and requires more code than should be needed for some small projects. Binding URLs to functions and dispatch strings is all I need for a great many small projects; I have a very easy time managing the DOM with my own widgets and managing data with simple JavaScript objects. So the "heavy" part can be having to learn which parts of the API I do or don't need, reading through tutorial docs, etc.
