You don't need to write your own data binding in backbone. Several smart developers have already written plugins for this very thing. I usually forget about backbone plugins when workin on a new problem, and get halfway down my thought process before remembering to check https://github.com/documentcloud/backbone/wiki/Extensions,-P.... To be fair, the backbone website does a terrible job of promoting these resources.

Thank you very much for posting this. I've been working on a Backbone app and have never seen this before!
