Thoughts on Falcor and JSON Graph

Netflix recently released their open-source project Falcor, which "lets you represent all your remote data sources as a single domain model via a virtual JSON graph." [0] It uses the proposed JSON Graph spec [1] and [2].

The specs for JSON Graph and JSON-LD have some overlap, and likewise Falcor has some overlap with the JSON-LD implementations. How do Falcor and JSON Graph relate to JSON-LD? It appears to me they are very similar, except Falcor requires more changes to the backend server but also provides more control over data shape and caching than is currently provided by JSON-LD framing.

Cheers,
Anders Riutta
