install

$ npm i -P neckbone

notable differences

• No support for View, Router, History.
• Does not use jQuery, and replaces underscore with lodash.
• Does not support Model#mixin or Collection#mixin.
• Does not provide a global event bus (e.g. Backbone.trigger on global Backbone).
• Exports setter functions for previously-rewriteable exports:
  • ajax -> setAJAXImplementation
  • emulateHTTP -> setEmulateHTTP
  • emulateJSON -> setEmulateJSON
  • sync -> setSyncImplementation
• Supports standard class-extend syntax instead of requiring e.g. Model.extend.
• Potential for minor differences in method semantics. e.g. due to the lodash switch Model#pick does not support a function getter - use Model#pickBy instead.
