Features
Chaplin.js uses AMD for module encapsulation and lazy-loading. It is designed with strict memory management for optimal web browser performance. Chaplin.js is made available in CoffeeScript and LiveScript for easier object composition and class hierarchy management.
Chaplin.js allows a developer to define regions in the presentation of the application and dynamically load and unload content in those regions without redrawing the entire view or hiding/showing preloaded content panels.
