I've used a similar approach for Flask-Potion, a REST API framework (http://potion.readthedocs.org/). References are JSON objects in the format {"$ref": uri}, which makes them exceedingly simple to fetch and cache.

#22I've used a similar approach for Flask-Potion, a REST API framework ( http://potion.readthedocs.org/ ). References are JSON objects in the format {"$ref": uri}, which makes them exceedingly simple to fetch and cache.
I've been looking for something like this!

#23I wish they'd tried to work with existing formats :( http://jsonapi.org/ / https://github.com/jsog/jsog
Re: Netflix Releases Falcor Developer Preview
#24IMO, the name is to close to that of the Falcon (Python) web framework. http://falconframework.org/
I disagree, though maybe I could see your point if you are unfamiliar with The Never-ending Story. Even then, they are in different spaces so a mental name collision seems unlikely.

#25For those not yet familiarized with JSON Graphs, the Falcor's docs introduction to JSON Graphs is awesome:

#26If the underlying object graph isn't immutable, how does one guarantee consistency when refreshing only portions of the graph?

#27Just waiting on Om Next now...
Yeah me too!! Anybody know the status?
Some early ideas have already hit the repo[1]. David Nolen has been focused on ClojureScript bootstrapping work[2] of late, but I expect he'll get back to Om Next in the coming weeks.

#28I have been following the falcor announcements, presentations and discussions for a few months. I am really impressed at what a good job the Netflix team has done with introducing the json graph concepts, I've learned a lot it regardless of falcor. Kudos Netflix! I really like the concepts and client/server model. If it is performant, it will be fun to see persistent videogame worlds written through falcor. To that e…
iirc, falcor maintains an LRU cache, so unused data keeps getting flushed out of memory.

Falcor engineer here. In short, we don't expose the cache's structure directly through any of the public methods. While we don't lock you out of your own data if your JSON value is a complex Object (it's wrapped inside an Atom - http://netflix.github.io/falcor/doc/global.html#Atom), any branches returned from get/set/call are separate Objects.

Yes, this is the case.
