Falcor: One Model Everywhere

Jafar Husain at ReactEurope 2016

Imagine how easy building your web application would be if all of your data was available in-memory on the client. Falcor lets you to code that way. Falcor is the open-source, JS data access framework that powers Netflix. Falcor lets you represent all of your cloud data sources as one virtual JSON model on the server. On the client, Falcor makes it appear as if the entire JSON model is available locally and allows you to access data the same way you would from an in-memory JSON object. Falcor retrieves the model data you request from the cloud on-demand, transparently handling all the network communication and keeping the server and client in sync.
