Breeze.js

Breeze is a data management library for JavaScript that makes it easy to query data from the server. Breeze’s simple, yet powerful API allows you to make complex queries against the server, cache the data on the client for performance, and supports offline scenarios.

When used with a databinding framework like Knockout, Breeze enables you to code in a familiar architectural pattern like MVC or MVVM and keep your view separate from your business logic.
