    <p>Utilizing a client-side MVC framework can be useful for code organization when dealing with very large, Ajax-reliant applications. Consider a client-side Model layer that consistently talks to one or more services provided by individual applications in a Service-Oriented Architecture. The individual service providers may implement their services with an MVC or not, but there's an advantage in having client-side Models to consume that data.</p> <p>Keep in mind, too, that Javascript frameworks - whether jQuery, Mootools, Node.js - are going to implement an event-driven control workflow, where a single event can trigger callbacks that cascade into other callbacks. Typically on the server-side, at least where the HTTP request-response cycle is concerned, we want to create discrete, atomic tasks that generate a quick and redictable response and may trigger or enqueue some other asynchronous event on the server, because the response is blockking the user from making another request and continuing his workflow. Not so for client-side Javascript.</p> <p>Adding a full client-side MVC to the stack when you're already utilizing a MVC framework server-side can be overkill and may lead to a duplication of effort. It can be done correctly. Specialize your server-side code into access control and CRUD operations, returning JSON instead of HTML views. Specialize your client-side code into view processing and event handling using light-weight models expecting a JSON data store with conventional, ReST-ful routing. Use them for what they're both good for to get the most mileage.</p>

    1. COTo re-iterate on what David said - client side MVC frameworks work really well in single page apps that are really dynamic (a.k.a "desktop-like" web apps). If you are doing a lot of AJAX(J) data requests and view manipulation in JS, then you may want to look into client-side MVC - otherwise probably not.

    2. COThanks for the answer. I would like to ask for references (if any) to review your statement(s): "Use them for what they're both good for to get the most mileage.", "...a client-side MVC framework can be useful for code organization..."

    3. CO"...useful for code organization..." -- Organizing operations on data objects (model layer) separately from element rendering and animation (view layer). Like @Raynos said, in a thick-client / thin-server architecture, Javascript-powered application code talks to a backend application that exposes a ReSTful API for data persistence. You get an API for others to use as well as a highly performant application by separating the layers. There's nothing preventing you from building your service layer with a server-side MVC framework in whatever language you choose.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
