2 Great JavaScript Data-Binding Libraries

JavaScript libraries help you build powerful, data-driven HTML5 apps.

By John Papa 02/01/2012

Data binding is one of the best features of XAML, so it's no surprise that this functionality has become more popular in HTML5. Several great JavaScript libraries help bring common and often-used patterns to HTML5/JavaScript development. Two of my favorite libraries that add data-binding features are Knockout JS, and JsRender with JsViews. There are others, but these are the two I've found most useful and they make it a lot more fun for me to write HTML5 apps with JavaScript.

Why You Should Get KO'd
Knockout , developed by Steve Sanderson and available via NuGet, is inspired by Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) style patterns. It has been around for more than a year and has a very active community. The community has even developed popular plug-ins for Knockout, such as KnockoutJS Mapper , which you can use to map JSON directly into a JavaScript object. Simply put, Knockout allows the binding of a JavaScript object to an HTML page.
