Question

Does anybody know a workflow engine (such as Spring WebFlow) for Javascript? We have a home-made framework that allows us to guide site navigation using JSON, but its quality is far from good.

Edit based on given answers: the engine must run on the browser and reduce to minimum the number of requests to the server.
