* Bindroid dramatically simplifies implementing the MVVM pattern when building Android applications. * Open Source. * Easy UI development. * It can be safely used as an adapter between objects of all sorts, setting them up to track and notify each other whenever changes occur.

◾Agnostic: Rivets.js is completely agnostic about your model / controller layer and works well with existing libraries that employ an event-driven model such as Backbone.js and Stapes.js. It also ships with built-in support for plain JavaScript objects, so you can use Rivets.js right away without needing a separate model or observables library. ◾Configurable: From the event handlers to the template delimiters, the attribute prefixes to the preloading of data. It's all configurable and tunable at the application level as well as locally to individual views. ◾Binders: Describe how your underlying data is reflected in the DOM and vice-versa. All binders create a binding that is automatically updated when model data changes or when the user interacts with the DOM. ◾Components: Define reusable views, instantiable as a custom element. Each component gets its own isolated, augmentable scope. ◾Formatters: Format dates, numbers, currencies and implement logic gates and conversions. Formatters work in a similar fashion to the Unix pipeline, so you can stack as many of them together as you like ◾Adapters viaSIGHTGLASS: Teach Rivets.js how to observe and interact with different objects. Use . for plain object proterties and define a : adapter for Backbone model attributes. It's up to you. Adapters take care of observing and reading each key in a keypath.
