A JavaScript library that adds one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-one relations between Backbone models, supporting nested model retrieval and serialization. It extends Backbone's Model and Collection to handle related data automatically.

Use cases

• manage one-to-many relations between backbone models
• load nested json into related backbone models
• sync related backbone collections automatically
• define many-to-one relationships in backbone apps
• serialize backbone models with nested relations

When to choose

• you maintain a legacy Backbone application with relational model data
• you need automatic nested model instantiation from JSON in Backbone
• you want bidirectional relation lookups between Backbone models and collections

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project - Backbone is legacy and this library is in maintenance mode
• you use a modern framework like React, Vue, or Angular
• you need a full ORM with database persistence rather than client-side model relations
