Kinto vs SignalR: What are the differences?

Kinto: Open-source alternative to Firebase and Parse. Kinto is a lightweight JSON storage service with synchronisation and sharing abilities; SignalR: A new library for ASP.NET developers that makes developing real-time web functionality easy. SignalR allows bi-directional communication between server and client. Servers can now push content to connected clients instantly as it becomes available. SignalR supports Web Sockets, and falls back to other compatible techniques for older browsers. SignalR includes APIs for connection management (for instance, connect and disconnect events), grouping connections, and authorization.

Kinto and SignalR can be primarily classified as "Realtime Backend / API" tools.

Kinto and SignalR are both open source tools. SignalR with 7.75K GitHub stars and 2.19K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Kinto with 3.77K GitHub stars and 355 GitHub forks.
