# CanJS TodoMVC Example > CanJS is a MIT-licensed, client-side, JavaScript framework that makes building rich web applications easy. > _[CanJS - canjs.com](http://canjs.com)_ ## Learning CanJS The [CanJS website](http://canjs.com) is a great resource for getting started.

Version 2 is mostly backwards compatible with previous 1.1.x version. For alternative architecture examples have a look at the [TodoMVC 1.2.0 CanJS example](https://github.com/tastejs/todomvc/tree/1.2.0/architecture-examples/canjs). ### CanJS and JavaScriptMVC CanJS is the extracted, more modern and more library-like MVC parts of [JavaScriptMVC](http://javascriptmvc.com), formerly known as jQueryMX. JavaScriptMVC 3.3 uses CanJS for the MVC structure so this TodoMVC example applies to JavaScriptMVC as well. Additionally, JavaScriptMVC contains: - [CanJS](http://canjs.com) - For the MVC parts - [jQuery++](http://jquerypp.com) - jQuery's missing utils and special events - [StealJS](http://javascriptmvc.com/docs.html#!stealjs) - A JavaScript package manager - [DocumentJS](http://javascriptmvc.com/docs.html#!DocumentJS) - A documentation engine - [FuncUnit](http://funcunit.com) - jQuery style functional unit testing
