Backbone.js - Other frameworks that provide Collections

Question

I am inclined to BackboneJs for mvc structuring javascript files now. I am quite happy with the current setup and i would like to now improve my knowledge of other javascript frameworks available that is tiny in it's core like Backbonejs, provides collection to manage array of models like Bb does. I tried SpineJs, SammyJs with simple app but i think they are quite lacking something which i am unable to identify currently. Which other frameworks have i got at my disposal, also is there a way to emulate collections in either of the above said libraries.

@Tomasz any reason to close the question. I would love to know :) also i would delete it it reasoning is valid — Deeptechtons, Jan 23 '12 at 14:10
I haven't voted to close it, I only [slightly corrected](http://stackoverflow.com/posts/8972815/revisions) the title. You question is fine as far as I am concerned. I think only moderators know who voted before the question is actually closed. — Tomasz Nurkiewicz, Jan 23 '12 at 14:26

Models in SpineJS have some basic Collection functionality.
Check out the Model Relationships guide on the SpineJS website.

TaffyDB is the closest that I can think in dealing with collection of js objects. It has a database - like api in dealing with js objects. However, you have to

convert spinejs' to json before inserting to taffy db
taffyDB does not provide way to synchronize data to server

It seems too much of a work, though I've suggested it in case it may be useful to you.

Your question deserve a 4 pages answer....

to make it short:

have a look here for a plethora of others frameworks review. Also here is a good place to have a look
please specify some more of your rquirements (ok for handling of collections). For instance, backbone.js is great when used with restful DBs like couchdb (really, a 5 minutes work, I use it--)
some months ago, when I had to decide which framework to choose for my app, I was in your same situation. I had to choose among angularjs, knockout, and backbone.js The choice falled on backbone.js and I never regretted it.

hope this helps. bye.
