Marionette.js
The Backbone Framework
## Marionette v5
#TODO# Update documentation
## About Marionette
Marionette is a composite application library for Backbone.js that
aims to simplify the construction of large scale JavaScript applications.
It is a collection of common design and implementation patterns found in
applications.
## Documentation
All of the documentation for Marionette can be found at
##### [marionettejs.com/docs/current](http://marionettejs.com/docs/current)
### App Architecture On Backbone's Building Blocks
Backbone provides a great set of building blocks for our JavaScript
applications. It gives us the core constructs that are needed to build
small apps, organize jQuery DOM events, or create single page apps that
support mobile devices and large scale enterprise needs. But Backbone is
not a complete framework. It's a set of building blocks. It leaves
much of the application design, architecture and scalability to the
developer, including memory management, view management, and more.
Marionette brings an application architecture to Backbone, along with
built in view management and memory management. It's designed to be a
lightweight and flexible library of tools that sits on top of Backbone,
providing the framework for building a scalable application.
Like Backbone itself, you're not required to use all of Marionette just
because you want to use some of it. You can pick and choose which features
you want to use. This allows you to work with other Backbone
frameworks and plugins easily. It also means that you are not required
to engage in an all-or-nothing migration to begin using Marionette.
### Chat with us
Find us [on gitter](https://gitter.im/marionettejs/backbone.marionette).
We're happy to discuss design patterns and learn how you're using Marionette.
### Key Benefits
* Scalable: applications built in modules with event-driven architecture
* Sensible defaults: Underscore templates are used for view rendering
* Easily modifiable: works with the specific needs of your application
* Reduce boilerplate: for all views, including specialized types
* Create: application visuals at runtime with `Region` and `View` objects
* Nested: `View`s and `CollectionView`s within visual regions
* Built-in: memory management and zombie-killing for `View`s, `CollectionViews`a and `Region`s
* Event-driven architecture: utilizing `Radio`
* Flexible: "as-needed" architecture allowing you to pick and choose what you need
* And much, much more
