Inspired by Ember Data, js-data is the model layer you've been craving. It consists of a convenient framework-agnostic, in-memory cache for managing your data, which users adapters to communicate with various persistence layers.
You can use the http adapter, which is perfect for communicating with your RESTful backend. You could also use the localStorage adapter. More adapters are coming, and you're free to implement your own. View available adapters here.
Unlike Backbone and Ember Models, js-data does not require the use of getters and setters, and doesn't wrap your data with custom classes if you don't want it to. js-data's internal dirty-checking (via observe-js or Object.observe in supporting browsers) allows for powerful use cases and an easy avenue for implementing your own 3-way data-binding.
Supporting relations, computed properties, model lifecycle control and a slew of other features, js-data is the tool for giving your data the respect it deserves.

store.registerAdapter('http', new DSHttpAdapter(), { default: true });

User.find(1).then(function (user) {
user; // { id: 1, name: 'John' }
