<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src=

<body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var datas = Backbone.Model.extend({
            defaults: {
                name: "sravan"
            }
        });
 
        var datacollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
            model: datas
        });
 
        var data1 = new datas({ name: "ram" });
        var data2 = new datas({ name: "shivam" });
        var data3 = new datas({ name: "ram" });
        var data4 = new datas({ name: "ram" });
 
        var final = new datacollection();
        final.add([data1, data2, data3, data4]);
 
        document.write(
          "Actual Values:",
          JSON.stringify(final.toJSON())
        );
        document.write("<br>");
  
        // Using the findWhere() method
        var result1 = final.findWhere({ name: "ram" });
