The most common factors are –

1. They are all open-sourced

2. They possess the ability to solve the problems of creating Single Page Web Apps using MV designs

Each framework has their own set of views, data models, events, and routing. So let us have a detailed view of the current trending MV frameworks that would help to select the appropriate framework for the project.

AngularJS

AngularJS released in 209 is one of the important parts of the commercial product that is popular as GetAngular. AngularJS comes with the most unique and innovative features and includes the two-way data binding, easy-to-test code, dependency injection and extending the HTML dialect with the use of correct directives.

BackboneJS

BackboneJS is the lightweight MVC framework released in 2010. Well, it quickly became popular as a lean alternative to the heavy and full-featured MVC frameworks like ExtJS. Many services have adopted BackboneJS such as Flixster, Pinterest, AirBNB and more.

Backbone is a lightweight framework with fast and small memory footprint. It comes with a great documentation process in which you will find the code is simple and heavily documented. Apart from that, it comes with an annotated version explaining in detail how the framework works. You can move the entire source code while getting familiar with the working process in a short span.

Backbone is not always favorable, as it does not provide any kind of structure rather it comes with some basic tools that one can use in creating structure or just leaving it on the developer to structure the application or number of blanks to fill. This framework helps to concentrate on memory engagement, one of the important factors to consider.

EmberJS

EmberJS derived from Sproutlt and then later by Apple came to the market in 2011. Originally, it belonged to SprouCore MVC framework in 2007 that later resulted into the development of the Ember framework.

Ember.js favors “Convention” over “Configuration”. Technically speaking it conveys that instead of writing a boilerplate code it is automatically going to configure the settings by itself. Such things might include automatically determining the name of the route and controller while defining the router resource. Ember even raises the bar by automatically creating the controller for the resource.

API of the Ember framework changes frequently before it becomes stable. It has a number of outdated content that does not work any longer. It confuses the developers who are the novices in the framework. You may also face some of the breaking challenges as well as those that cause StackOverflow instances.

This descriptive post from Unified Infotech on AngularJS framework, Backbone framework, and Ember framework would help you to choose the best one for your project. Now you would have a clear idea to choose the best MV framework for your next project.

NOTE: ***AngularJS and Ember include a template engine while the Backbone leaves it on you to choose the appropriate template engine of your choice. AngularJS framework has an innovative approach extending HTML, Backbone prefers the minimalism and Ember has a holistic approach that widely embraces the MVC architecture.
