Backbone-Server is a zero configuration backbone.js server. For teaching, experimentation and debugging it provides an instant server-side for backbone.js apps. Once installed it is started like so:
node rasterver.js
Then from the client you can work with models:
var Person = Backbone.Model.extend({}),
People = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model: Person,
url: 'http://localhost:3000/People'
