* Optimal performance under high-stress conditions over long periods of time can be maintained. * Other technologies such as JEE, PHP, and .NET can be integrated with a Flex application. * The Flex framework allows for the internationalization and localization of the application for deployment in multiple languages and across continents. * Testing throughout the development process can be done using the many tools designed specifically for Flex applications to perform unit, integration, functional, and other types of testing. * Supporting tools provide build automation and continuous integration of Flex applications. * The individual classes associated with a Flex project are easy to track and maintain in a revision control system.

◾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.
