Marionette.js is a composite application framework built on top of Backbone.js that provides application architecture, view management, and memory management for large-scale JavaScript single-page applications. This repository (backbone.marionette) is in maintenance mode, with new feature development moved to the Backbone-free 'marionette' library.
Use cases
- structure a large backbone single-page application
- add view and memory management to backbone apps
- organize complex layouts from small views
- decouple communication between app components
- gradually add architecture to an unruly legacy backbone codebase
- share UI behaviors across views as mixins
When to choose
- you maintain an existing Backbone.js application that needs structure
- you want a lightweight, pick-and-choose architecture layer over Backbone
- you need battle-tested view lifecycle and region management
When to avoid
- you are starting a new frontend project from scratch
- you want a modern component-based framework like React or Vue
- you need active feature development, since this repo only receives fixes
