CanJS

CanJS’ core supports Dojo, jQuery, Zepto, YUI and Mootools.

By doing so, it  opens itself to a broad group of developers and use cases thanks to a previously unexplored possibility of combining technologies together, instead of focusing just on one single tool.

The framework was built on a small core and an MV* structure, supporting two-way data binding, custom tags, responsive widgets, and its very own template engine.

CanJS works with client-side (browsers) and server-side (Node.js) AMD environments.

CanJS was developed to be part of the JavaScript framework - JavaScriptMVC.
