Declarative data fetching in React components with Baobab

What we love about React is how simple and enjoyable its declarative way of constructing components. And when GraphQL was introduced our minds were blown because we realized: we can do the same with data, describing what our components need and not caring about how and when it will be delivered. Also, Netflix introduced JSONGraph and Falcor this May. What’s interesting here is that working completely independent from Facebook they came up with very similar ideas. So, basically we can see a solid trend here.
