<a href="http://knockoutjs.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;knockoutjs.com&#x2F;</a> is also a great simple data binding lib but without any dependencies.

this is cool, but it&#x27;s a bit misleading to declare something &#x27;lightweight&#x27; if it has 5 dependencies including jquery and underscore

I think AngularJS has a very strong 2-way databinding offering (with its many directives and implicit data-change detection).<p>It is actually possible to just use the databinding features of AngularJS without all the framework stuff. Just need a few lines of Javascript to get yourself a scope.<p>Or just use my code: <a href="https://github.com/julius/AngularLite" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;julius&#x2F;AngularLite</a>

An alternative to declaring bindings in HTML is to generate the forms with javascript and bind the data with d3js. 2-way binding should be achievable with d3&#x27;s support for event handlers. That should also provide more flexibility as you can always drop down to DOM APIS or include other Javascript-based form controls.
