Obviously,

Learning from source of famous frameworks or libraries is particularly instructive.

Developers of this source code are mostly expert in JavaScript, so we can only learn from it. 

In my experience, I like to read source code of Backbone.js, it has a good documentation and architecture.

All JavaScript developers must learn it to be considered as an expert.

Yes, but only when I required as going through the source codes takes a lot of time. But what I learned mostly from the source code is, the proper way to document source code.
