Falcor vs Rest.li: What are the differences?

Developers describe Falcor as "A JavaScript library for efficient data fetching, created by Netflix". Falcor lets you represent all your remote data sources as a single domain model via a virtual JSON graph. You code the same way no matter where the data is, whether in memory on the client or over the network on the server. On the other hand, Rest.li is detailed as "A REST+JSON framework for robust, scalable service architectures, by LinkedIn". Rest.li is an open source REST framework for building robust, scalable RESTful architectures using type-safe bindings and asynchronous, non-blocking IO. Rest.li fills a niche for applying RESTful principals at scale with an end-to-end developer workflow for buildings REST APIs that promotes clean REST practices, uniform interface design and consistent data modeling.

Falcor and Rest.li can be primarily classified as "API" tools.

Falcor and Rest.li are both open source tools. Falcor with 9.36K GitHub stars and 449 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Rest.li with 1.94K GitHub stars and 392 GitHub forks.
