QueryEngine provides extensive Querying, Filtering, and Searching abilities for Backbone.js Collections as well as JavaScript arrays and objects. The Backbone.js and Underscore dependencies are optional.

• includes a live interactive demos with several examples, wiki documentation and source-code documentation
• runs on node.js and in the browser
• supports NoSQL queries (like MongoDB)
• supports filters (applying a filter function to a collection)
• supports search strings (useful for turning search input fields into useful queries)
• supports pills for search strings (e.g. author:ben priority:important)
• supports optional live collections (when a model is changed, added or removed, it can automatically be tested against the collections queries, filters, and search string, if it fails, remove it from the collection)
• supports parent and child collections (when a parent collection has a model removed, it is removed from the child collection too, when a parent collection has a model added or changed, it is retested against the child collection)
• actively maintained, supported, and implemented by several companies
