Chaplin is an architecture for JavaScript applications using the Backbone.js library. Chaplin addresses Backbone’s limitations by providing a lightweight and flexible structure that features well-proven design patterns and best practices.
In this case, Backbone is replaced with Exoskeleton, faster and leaner Backbone without dependencies on jQuery and underscore.
The Chaplin website is a great resource for getting started.
