title: Handling ajax with React
body: <p>How should I handle ajax requests in a fairly traditional web application? Specifically with using React for views, while having a backend that handles data such as text and what not, but using ajax to automatically save user interactions such as toggling options or liking a post to the server.</p>
  
  <p>Should I just use jQuery for this, or would something like Backbone be more beneficial?</p>
