Developers these days are spoiled with choice when it comes to selecting an MV* framework for structuring and organizing JavaScript web apps.

Backbone, Ember, AngularJS, Spine... the list of new and stable solutions goes on and on, but just how do you decide on which to use in a sea of so many options?

To help solve this problem, we created TodoMVC - a project which offers the same Todo application implemented using MV* concepts in most of the popular JavaScript MV* frameworks of today.

• Backbone.js
• Ember.js
• AngularJS
• Spine
• KnockoutJS (MVVM)
• Dojo
• YUI
• Batman.js
• Closure
• Agility.js
• Knockback.js
• Google Web Toolkit

• jQuery
• Vanilla JS

• Backbone.js + RequireJS (using AMD)
• Ember.js + RequireJS (using AMD)

We also have a number of in-progress applications in Labs:

• CanJS
• Maria.js
• cujo.js
• Meteor
• Derby
• SocketStream + jQuery
• Ext.js
• Sammy.js
• JavaScriptMVC
• Stapes.js
• Epitome
• TroopJS
• soma.js
• DUEL
• Fidel
• Olives
• PlastronJS
• Dijon
• rAppid.js
• o_O
• KnockoutJS + RequireJS (using AMD)
• AngularJS + RequireJS (using AMD)
• AngularJS (optimized)
• Backbone.xmpp

Live demos are available on our website

TodoMVC would not be possible without a strong team of contributors helping push the project forward each day. In addition, we have a core project team composed of:

TodoMVC has been called many things including the 'Speed-dating' and 'Rosetta Stone' of MV* frameworks. Whilst we hope that this project is able to offer assistance in deciding what frameworks are worth spending more time looking at, remember that the Todo application offers a limited view of what a framework may be capable of.

It is meant to be used as a gateway to reviewing how a basic application using a framework may be structured and we heavily recommend investing time researching a solution in more depth before opting to use it.

TodoMVC 1.0 includes re-writes of almost all applications, ensuring they follow a consistent set of specifications and are using the latest versions of all libraries and frameworks in use. We've also addressed framework author concerns about routing by adding this to many of the more mainstream applications in the project.

Whilst we enjoy implementing and improving existing Todo apps, we're always interested in speaking to framework authors (and users) wishing to share Todo app implementations in their framework/solution of choice.
