7,388 PointsI think your referring to underscore JavaScript framework which is an add-on such much like jQuery. JavaScript can be painful to work in but underscore provides a collection of utilities to make life easier. Here's a synopsis from the underscore website.
Underscore is a JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects. It’s the answer to the question: “If I sit down in front of a blank HTML page, and want to start being productive immediately, what do I need?” … and the tie to go along with jQuery's tux and Backbone's suspenders.
