Example Collection: [{"name":"Jim","age":10},{"name":"Mini","age":15}]
Output:

Collection: [{"name":"Jim","age":10},{"name":"Mini","age":15}]
Explanation:
In the above example, the model ‘X’ includes the default values and is extended using the Backbone.Model class, ‘Y’ is a collection instance and The ‘Z.models’ define the array of models inside the collection.
