1. having been made greater in size or value.

Augmented.js is a javascript framework based on (but enhances extensively) Backbone.js. Augmented.js provides a large set of functionality designed to develop single pages applications easier.

The key focus of the project is to tie a number of missing features, patterns, and what would normally be third-party plugins together in a powerful framework. Another goal of Augmented.js is to limit third party libraries for a smaller footprint, easy dependency management, and high performance. Performance is a key item in the framework. In every case the performance will beat other libraries and frameworks (such as jQuery) usually by large amounts.
