This example demonstrates how to use Backbone.js models with the Java 8 Nashorn Javascript Engine. First released in March 2014 as part of Java SE 8, Nashorn extends Javas capabilities by running javascript code natively on the JVM. For java web developers Nashorn might be especially useful for re-using existing client-side code on the java server. Traditionally Node.js was in a clear advantage, but Nashorns possibilities might close the gap to the JVM.
