What is the counterpart of a backbone model in parse?

Question

I am trying to build a simple answer rating app (similar to the canonical Todo app) in Parse.

In Backbone, I could create a Model to represent a single answer and a Collection to represent a list of answers.

If I create a class in Parse's data browser, it corresponds to a Collection in Backbone. How can I specify a model (Parse.Model) in Parse.Collection if I have no way of creating one?

In Parse 1.2.13 (< 1.6), you can use the name of the class created in Parse Data Browser as the name of the model (individual item) in your js code.

That is, if you create a class named "Widget" in Parse Data Browser, you can use this in your js code:

var Widget = Parse.Object.extend ("Widget");
var Widgets = Parse.Collection.extend ({
    model: Widget
}); // example collection

and proceed as usual with Backbone code.
