How is it different than knockout? It looks very similar from what I can tell.

weepy6• 14 years ago

It certainly shares some features such as data-bind.

But it's much smaller and simpler. It's also general purpose rather than the Root style for Knockout.

Additionally it uses jQuery to deliver most of the bindings which makes it one less thing to learn.

It does look useful, but that's a weird choice for a name...

It looks like the primary difference is that Knockout has a no-dependency philosophy while this library is explicitly designed to be used with other libraries.

Correct - it's more the toolset philosophy of Backbone rather than Ember or Knockout which are more frameworks.

Up to you which philosophy you prefer.
