I’ve not looked into BackboneJS or EmberJS in detail, but as I understand, it is possible to have BackboneJS seamlessly work with a REST back-end. Whereas EmberJS doesn’t seem to have anything I can use out of the box.
Can anyone offer any advice how to achieve this with EmberJS?
If you just need a simple REST adapter without much complexity, then

is great for the job.
