mwp.model Model manager

Models are used to encapsulate your data and assign behaviors to it. A model is conceptually equivalent to a class, which you use to create new instances of objects that inherit your model methods.

Every model extends the core Backbone.Model class and therefore inherits all of the documented behaviors of a Backbone.js model in addition to some extra functionality provided by the MWP Javascript Framework.
