Answer 1

Backbone is a MV* framework while jQuery is a DOM toolkit.

The main features of an MV* application are routing, data binding, templates/views, models, and data access. Backbone could dependant on jQuery partially.

jQuery is a solid API for querying the DOM with extensive browser support and a vibrant community. It comes with event handling, deferred objects, and animations.

Simple event binding using jQuery

// When any 
 tag is clicked, we expect to see '
 was clicked' in the   console.
$( "p" ).on( "click", function() {
console.log( "
 was clicked" );
});
