Backbone.js vs React Storybook: What are the differences?

Developers describe Backbone.js as "Give your JS App some Backbone with Models, Views, Collections, and Events". Backbone supplies structure to JavaScript-heavy applications by providing models key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing application over a RESTful JSON interface. On the other hand, React Storybook is detailed as "Develop and design React components without an app". You just load your UI components into the React Storybook and start developing them. This functionality allows you to develop UI components rapidly without worrying about the app. It will improve your team’s collaboration and feedback loop.

Backbone.js belongs to "Javascript MVC Frameworks" category of the tech stack, while React Storybook can be primarily classified under "MVC Tools".

Backbone.js and React Storybook are both open source tools. React Storybook with 39.4K GitHub stars and 3.23K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Backbone.js with 27.5K GitHub stars and 5.7K GitHub forks.

Uber Technologies, Pinterest, and reddit are some of the popular companies that use Backbone.js, whereas React Storybook is used by Huddle, Quizlet, and AppsFlyer. Backbone.js has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1066 company stacks & 218 developers stacks; compared to React Storybook, which is listed in 43 company stacks and 22 developer stacks.

It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.
