This React example integrates Backbone for its model and router. Note that this is simply a showcase of third-party library integration; Backbone isn't the best candidate because of its mutative nature, which makes it hard to take advantage of some of React's more advanced performance tuning, i.e. shouldComponentUpdate. The main React example uses a simple, custom immutable model.
React is a JavaScript library for creating user interfaces. Its core principles are declarative code, efficiency, and flexibility. Simply specify what your component looks like and React will keep it up-to-date when the underlying data changes.
The React getting started documentation is a great way to get started.
